Research on Supersonic Reacting Rows.
Abstract
An experimental and computational investigation of supersonic combustion flows was carried out. The principal objective of the research was to gain a more fundamental understanding of mixing and chemical reaction in supersonic flows. The research effort comprised three inter-related elements: (1) stability analyses and numerical simulations of compressible reacting flows; (2) development of laser-induced fluorescence techniques for time-resolved multidimensional imaging of species concentration, temperature, velocity and pressure; and (3) an experimental study of mixing and combustion in a supersonic plane mixing layer with the additional development of simple mixing enhancements. The specific objectives and results of the research of each of these program elements have been summarized in this report. New results include: a detailed stability map for reacting, compressible shear layers; new PLIF techniques for transient facilities; new measurements of mixing efficiency in compressible flows and demonstration of simple mixing enhancement techniques with low pressure drop.
