Abstract

Abstract:

In order to reduce the combustion experiments and improve the scramjet structure design, the supersonic flow and combustion process of hydrogen and air in the scramjet are simulated with the large-scale simulation software Fluent. Firstly the cooling mixed flow of air and fuel in the scramjet is simulated, then supersonic combustion process is simulated with one-step or multi-step reduced chemical reaction mechanism respectively. The simulation results show that when using one-step global reaction mechanism, the fuel can be ignited easily, and the combustion efficiency is also relatively high, but the temperature obtained is higher. Simulation with the multi-step reduced reaction mechanism is closer to the actual combustion experiments, but the fuel may be ignited harder, the flame may easy to destroy during the simulation, and the time of simulation may relatively longer.

Key words: scramjet, supersonic flow, combustion, reaction mechanism

摘要：

摘要为了减少燃烧试验次数和改进超燃冲压发动机结构设计, 采用大型模拟软件Fluent, 对氢气和空气在超燃冲压发动机内的超声速流动与燃烧过程进行数值模拟。首先对空气和燃料在发动机中的冷混流动进行模拟, 然后分别采用一步总包或多步简化化学反应机理, 模拟超声速燃烧过程。结果显示, 采用一步总包反应机理时, 燃料点火容易, 得到的燃烧效率也比较高, 但是得到的温度偏高; 采用多步简化反应机理, 不容易点火, 模拟过程中火焰易灭, 模拟所需要的时间也比较长, 但得到的流场与实验过程更接近。
