Abstract

One-dimensional model is an important way to evaluate the performance and flow characteristics of dual-mode scramjet combustor. Current work is based on a modified one-dimensional model assisted by measurements acquired on a direct-connected scramjet facility. CH* images and gas-sampling facility have been employed to quantify heat release for optimizing one-dimensional model. The results show that modified one-dimensional model gives a better evaluation of axis parameters distribution, especially for Mach number, which is the standard parameter to evaluate combustion mode. The ram/scram mode derived by the analytical results has been investigated. Intensive heat release is beneficial to obtain more stable pre-combustion shock and subsonic flow in the recirculation zone.
