Mixing and combustion characteristics analysis for solid rocket ramjet

Abstract

It is of great significance to study the mixing combustion characteristics of solid rocket ramjet for better organizing the secondary combustion of the air flowing into the inlet and the combustion-rich gas, enhancing the mixing degree of the supplementary combustion chamber, and improving the combustion efficiency. In this paper, the L-W model is used as the boron particles ignition combustion model. Combined with the UDF function of fluent, the boron particle ignition combustion program is self-programmed, the finite rate/eddy dissipation model is used as the gas combustion model, and the Realizable k-e turbulence model is used as the turbulence model. The numerical simulation was carried out under the cold flow state and the hot flow state, and the flow field distribution and parameters were obtained, and the mixing characteristics were analyzed. The error of simulation results and test results shows that that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. By comparing the combustion efficiency and mixing degree, it is found that generally, When the mixing effect is not good, the combustion efficiency must be bad; When the mixing effect is good and the mixing degree is high, the combustion efficiency may be high.
