“…The ability to operate propulsion engines at supersonic speeds offers the potential of enhanced efficiency as well as wider ranges of flight Mach numbers, from MO=3 to MO=8-10 for liquid fuels and up to orbital speeds for gaseous fuels (Waltrup, 1986). An essential element in the successful development of these supersonic propulsion devices is the concomitant development of the supersonic combustor.…”

Current understanding on the fundamental physico-chemical mechanisms governing the structure and stabilization of premixed and diffusion flames in subsonic and supersonic laminar and turbulent flows are classified and discussed, with emphasis on possible applications in supersonic propulsion. Specific topics discussed include the design concepts of supersonic engine operation and fuel injection, the ignition of combustibles in homogeneous and diffusive media, the extinction of premixed and diffusion flames through reactant leakage, heat loss, and aerodynamic stretching, the stabilization and liftoff of inverted, burner-stabilized, and rim-stabilized flames, and the various proposed mechanisms for the stabilization and blowout of jet diffusion flames. The fundamental similarities and differences between the various critical phenomena are indicated. Research topics of potential importance to supersonic combustion are suggested.

“…In addition to the NASA scramjet research and development program, other government activities included a Navy sponsored scramjet program at the Applied Physics Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University (JHU/APL) [8,9]. This work also increased in the 1960s and was directed toward the development of an air-breathing shipboard missile using a scramjet propulsion system.…”

In air breathing propulsion systems for flight at Mach numbers 7 to 20, it is generally accepted that the combustion processes will be carried out at supersonic velocities with respect to the engine. The resulting brief residence time places a premium on rapid mixing of the fuel and air. To address this issue we &re investigating a mechanism for enhancing the rate of mixing between air and hydrogen fuel over rates that are expected in shear layers and jets.The mechanism rests upon the strong vorticity induced at the interface between a light and heavy gas by an intense pressure gradient. The specific phenomenon under investigation is the rapid mixing induced by interaction of a weak oblique shock with a cylindrical jet of hydrogen embedded in air. The status of our investigations is described in three parts: a) shock tube investigation of the distortion and mixing induced by shock waves impinging on cylindric of hydrogen embedded in air, b) the molecular mixing and chemical reaction in large vortices, periodically formed in a channel, and c) two-dimensional non-steady and three-dimensional steady numerical studies of shock interaction with cylindrical volumes of hydrogen in air.
