Turbulent Mixing and Combustion for High-Speed, Air-Breathing Propulsion Applications

Abstract

This research focuses on fundamental investigations of mixing and combustion, in turbulent, subsonic, and supersonic flows and is motivated by problems in high-speed air-breathing propulsion. The work is a closely coordinated effort between experiments and numerical simulation, and exploits recent developments in diagnostics and instrumentation.
