Abstract
Jet scale affects the mixing and combustion of fuel and inflow. With the increase in the scale of scramjet combustors, the study of large-scale jets is particularly significant. The effects of jet scale on flame stability in scramjet combustors were studied by direct-connect combustion experiments. In this paper, the flame distribution characteristics of different jet scales were compared by using similar jet/inflow momentum ratios. The inflow Mach numbers were 2.4 and 3.0, and the total temperature was 1265 K and 1600 K, respectively. The results show that, when the equivalence ratio increases, the combustion intensity increases. Under the condition of same momentum ratio, the increase of jet scale is conducive to fuel injection into the core mainstream, increasing heat release, and the flame stabilization mode will change from cavity stabilization mode to jet-wake stabilization mode. Increasing the distance between jet orifices is not beneficial to combustion, and may even lead to blowoff.
