The presence of downstream ramp on fuel mixing of the multi micro jets at supersonic cross flow

Development of the fuel injection system in combustion chamber is greatly important for the overall thrust efficiency of the high-speed vehicles. Current article developed a three-dimensional model to discover the reality of downstream ramp on fuel mixing of the multi -jet at Ma>1. FVM is hired to scrutinize the impact of injector types (3-lobe, circular and rectangular shape) on the mixing productivity of downstream ramp in combustion chamber. Besides, the effects of ramp angle on fuel mixing are also analysed. Fuel mixing mechanisms in the selected models are investigated by comparing the Ma contour and mixing zone. Comparisons of the circulation strength downstream of these models confirm that the 3-lobe nozzles is more efficient than other styles. Our comparison indicates that overall mixing productivity of the circular jet is more than other cases.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
