    Notes: Abstract. A new fully implicit, time accurate algorithm suitable for chemically reacting, viscous flows in the transonic-to-hypersonic regime is described. The method is based on a class of Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) schemes and uses successive Gauss-Seidel relaxation sweeps. The inversion of large matrices is avoided by partitioning the system into reacting and nonreacting parts, but a fully coupled interaction is still maintained. As a result, the matrices that have to be inverted are of the same size as those obtained with the commonly used point implicit methods. In this paper we illustrate applicability of the new algorithm to hypervelocity unsteady combustion applications. We present a series of numerical simulations of the periodic combustion instabilities observed in ballistic-range experiments of blunt projectiles flying at subdetonative speeds through hydrogen-air mixtures. The computed frequencies of oscillation are in excellent agreement with experimental data.

    Description: This paper presents performance results for pulse detonation engines taking into account the effects of dissociation and recombination. The amount of sensible heat recovered through recombination in the PDE chamber and exhaust process was found to be significant. These results have an impact on the specific thrust, impulse and fuel consumption of the PDE.

    Description: The development of rocket based combined cycle (RBCC) engines are highly dependent upon integrating several different modes of operation into a single system. Due to the integrated nature of the propulsion system, each operating mode relies on the same expansion system to provide thrust. A fixed geometry, altitude-compensating aft-expansion configuration is used for the GTX flowpath configuration. Initial studies on the GTX expansion designs have demonstrated the importance of a smooth, highly integrated design for propulsion system performance. Based upon the results from the initial studies, further design improvements were made to the expansion system. Nozzles designed based on both conical and streamline traced flowfields; are discussed. Results from 3-D CFD calculations on an optimized geometry are also presented. A series of cold-flow experiments are proposed to validate the CFD analysis and quantify performance of the flowpath expansions surface design. A discussion is provided of the research hardware designs and experimental test plans.

    Description: Computational fluid dynamic simulations have been used to study the combustion processes within an axisymmetric, RBCC flowpath. Two distinct operating modes have been analyzed to date, including the independent ramjet stream (IRS) cycle and the supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) cycle. The IRS cycle investigation examined the influence of fuel-air ratio, fuel distribution, and rocket chamber pressure upon the combustion physics and thermal choke characteristics. Results indicate that adjustment of the amount and radial distribution of fuel can control the thermal choke point The secondary mass flow rate was very sensitive to the fuel-air ratio and the rocket chamber pressure. The scramjet investigation examined the influence of fuel-air ratio and fuel injection schedule upon combustion performance estimates An analysis of the mesh-dependence of these calculations was presented. Jet penetration data was extracted from the three-dimensional simulations and compared favorably with experimental correlations of similar flows. Results indicate that combustion efficiency was very sensitive to the fuel schedule.

    Description: A computational study of shock wave/boundary layer interactions involving premixed combustible gases, and the resulting combustion processes is presented. The analysis is carried out using a new fully implicit, total variation diminishing (TVD) code developed for solving the fully coupled Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and species continuity equations in an efficient manner. To accelerate the convergence of the basic iterative procedure, this code is combined with vector extrapolation methods. The chemical nonequilibrium processes are simulated by means of a finite-rate chemistry model for hydrogen-air combustion. Several validation test cases are presented and the results compared with experimental data or with other computational results. The code is then applied to study shock wave/boundary layer interactions in a ram accelerator configuration. Results indicate a new combustion mechanism in which a shock wave induces combustion in the boundary layer, which then propagates outwards and downstream. At higher Mach numbers, spontaneous ignition in part of the boundary layer is observed, which eventually extends along the entire boundary layer at still higher values of the Mach number.

    Description: A computational study of the ram accelerator, a ramjet-in-tube device for accelerating projectiles to ultrahigh velocities, is presented. The analysis is performed using a fully implicit TVD scheme that efficiently solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the species continuity equations associated with a finite rate combustion model. The present results indicate that viscous effects are of primary importance in all the cases studied, shock-induced combustion always started in the boundary layer. The effects of Mach number, mixture composition, pressure and tubulence are investigated for various configurations. Two types of combustion processes, one stable and the other unstable, were observed depending on the inflow conditions. The possibility of stabilizing the detonation wave by means of a backward facing step is also investigated. Two numerical techniques were tested: vector extrapolation, to accelerate convergence, and a diagonal formulation that eliminates the expense of inverting large block matrices which arise in chemically reacting flows.
