Abstract: | The mixing process between the fuel and the incoming air is extremely important for the engineering implementation of the scramjet engine. In the current study, the vortex generator coupled with the oblique shock wave is utilized to promote the hydrogen mixing process in a supersonic crossflow. The configurations of the vortex generator are put into investigation, namely typical ramp, split ramp and ramp vane. Some parameters are provided to evaluate the flow field properties quantitatively. The obtained results predicted by the three-dimensional Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations show that the method of shock wave/jet shear layer interaction coupled with the vortex generator can effectively improve the mixing efficiency. Different vortex generator structures all have great effect, especially for Case SR (split ramp), with the mixing efficiency raised by 36.27%. The streamwise vorticity plays an important role in the mixing process. |
