ABSTRACT
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to disclose the impacts of upstream shock waves on fuel mixing of cross coaxial air and fuel jet at a scramjet engine. This study has tried to investigate the impact of three different lobe injectors (2-lobe, 3-lobe, and 4-lobe nozzle) on the fuel penetrations along the scramjet combustor. The supersonic air stream is M = 4 while cross hydrogen and air jet are released in sonic velocity. This study uses CFD simulations to analyze the effects of upstream shock waves on fuel mixing in the transverse coaxial jet and assess their potential for improving combustion efficiency. The results demonstrate that the usage of upstream shock waves significantly increases shock interactions and augments the vortex region downstream of the jet. Our results show that the impacts of shock waves on the penetration of fuel jet released from the coaxial lobe nozzle are substantial.
