Combustion in High Speed Air Flows.

Abstract

This report covers: (1) the application of a modular combustor model for the liquid fueled sudden expansion combustor configuration to the analysis of flame stability and the interpretation of combustor test data; (2) the extension of the modular model to the analysis of boron slurry fueled ramjet combustors; and (3) the development of analytical models of the ducted rocket combustor. The modular approach is demonstrated to be a useful tool for the analysis and interpretation of sudden-expansion combustor flame stabilization phenomena and to be of considerable utility in the analysis of combustor test data. Models for the combustion of boron particles are reviewed and put into a form suitable for incorporation in a modular model of a boron slurry fueled combustor. Particle tracking methods suitable for use in the context of a modular model formulation have been defined and developed for the required application. The approach required to provide an analytical model of the three-dimensional recirculating flow in a ducted rocket combustor has been defined and the development of an aerodynamic model has been initiated.
