Abstract

Numerical modeling of combustion of a sonic hydrogen stream injected into a supersonic stream of air using a strut is presented. Results are obtained by numerically solving unsteady, compressible, turbulent Navier-Stokes equations, using Unstructured Finite Volume Method (UFVM) incorporating RNG based κ−ε two equation model and time integration using three stage Runge Kutta method. Reaction is modeled using an eight step H2-air chemistry. The developed numerical procedure is based on the implicit treatment of chemical source terms by preconditioning and solved along with unsteady turbulent Navier Stokes equations explicitly. Code is validated against a standard wall jet experimental data and is successfully used to model the reacting flow field resulting due to combustion of hydrogen in the wake region of strut placed in heated supersonic air stream.
