Large-Eddy Simulation of Supersonic Combustion in a Mach 2 Cavity Model Scramjet Combustor
In this study, we report on reactive large-eddy simulations (LESs) of flow and combustion in the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Research Cell 19 cavity-based scramjet combustor. This case involves the combustion of ethylene that is injected into a cavity. It has previously been studied experimentally with multiple techniques, including particle image velocimetry, hyperspectral imagining, and l
