Effects of Staged Injection on Supersonic Mixing and Combustion

The three-dimensional (3D) reacting flow in a staged supersonic combustor is examined numerically. In order to obtain the optimum stream-wise vortices, a swept ramp injector is chosen as the second-stage wall injection combined with the first-stage central strut injection. The performance of the two-staged injection is compared with that of a one-staged injection, while the strut is kept installed in both cases. The two-staged injections can make full use of the residual oxygen near the wall and release more heat. The second-stage injection further downstream avoids the strong shock waves in the isolator and results in a rising wall pressure and good burning effects after the wall injection. Therefore, it allows more fuel to be injected into the supersonic combustor without causing thermal choking. Parallel injection from the second-stage swept ramp shows low total pressure loss and the best burning efficiency, compared with the other injection angles.     

超声速翼身组合体激波阻力优化的EFCE算法

 超声速飞行器的横截面积分布对其激波阻力的影响十分显著,合理的机翼和机身横截面积分布可以显著降低其激波阻力。使用类别形状函数变换(CST)方法对机身进行基于横截面积分解的CST参数化外形表示,在此基础上提出了扩展的远场组元(EFCE)超声速翼身组合体激波阻力优化算法,并使用该方法对超声速客机翼身组合体进行外形优化,使其激波阻力系数降低了39%。研究结果表明:由于只进行一个方向上的面积分解,机身CST参数化所使用的参数数量和相应优化过程的计算量比机翼大幅降低;经过EFCE激波阻力优化的机身具有较为明显的面积率修形"蜂腰"特征。
