Abstract

This paper deals with numerical simulation of combustion of a hydrogen-air mixture in a supersonic flow. The simulation is based on solving the complete system of Navier-Stokes equations with closure using the turbulence model and detailed chemical kinetics. The mixing and combustion of a hydrogen-air fuel mixture is considered in the experimental formulation of Beach-Evans-Schexnayder. The effect of various kinetic mechanisms, turbulence models, TCI models, and boundary conditions on the solution is studied qualitatively and quantitatively. The relative errors of mass concentration of water for control sections are determined, and the methods’ boundaries are shown. Conclusions are drawn on the influence of turbulent mixing mechanisms and chemical kinetics on the combustion of hydrogen.
