Abstract
Abstract Investigations on the performance of a rear wall angled cavity with upstream transverse fuel injection in a Mach 1.8 flow field is experimentally studied in a non-reacting flow facility. The high speed flow is directed to a circular cross sectional supersonic combustor and proceeded towards the cavities having two consecutive angles being inclined towards the downstream flow direction. Wall mounted injector is positioned at a distance of 10 mm upstream from the cavity. Air is used as the injectant to simulate the gaseous fuel. The experiments are performed to explore the effect of the increase in injection pressures within various rear wall angled cavities by comparing with the ‘no-injection’ case and to finally assess the mixing performance of the flow. Transverse injection through upstream wall orifice of the cavities outlines a more uniform mixing compared to ‘no-injection’ configuration. Increase in injection pressures enhances mixing and stagnation pressure loss values.
