A numerical study of mixing enhancement in a supersonic combustor

This investigation describes an application of the Langley Research Center (LaRC) SPARK family of computer codes to swept and unswept ramp fuel injectors in a reacting highly vortical flow. Both mixing and reacting studies are performed. They show substantially higher mixing as well as flow losses for the swept ramp case. Computational results are compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with experimental results.
