This paper investigates the influence of ramps located upstream of a strut-based scramjet combustor under reacting flow conditions. The numerical results are validated with experimental values, showing compliance within the range, and the shock reflection due to the ramps enhances hydrogen distribution in the spatial direction, while lowering the combustion ignition delay time.
This paper focuses on the influence of ramp locations upstream of a strut-based scramjet combustor under reacting flow conditions that are numerically investigated. In contrast, a computational study is adopted using Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-omega turbulence model. The numerical results of the Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt or German Aerospace Centre (DLR) scramjet model are validated with the reported experimental values that show compliance within the range, indicating that the adopted simulation method can be extended for other investigations as well. The performance of the ramps in the strut-based scramjet combustor is analyzed based on parameters such as wall pressures, combustion efficiency and total pressure loss at various axial locations of the combustor. From the numerical shadowgraph, more shock interactions are observed upstream of the strut injection region for the ramp cases, which decelerates the flow downstream, and additional shock reflections with less intensity are also noticed when compared with the DLR scramjet model. The shock reflection due to the ramps enhances the hydrogen distribution in the spatial direction. The ignition delay is noticed for ramp combustors due to the deceleration of flow compared to the baseline strut only scramjet combustor. However, a higher flame temperature is observed with the ramp combustor. Because more shock interactions arise from the ramps, a marginal increase in the total pressure loss is observed for ramp combustors when compared to the baseline model.

Numerical investigations on the influence of double ramps in a strut based scramjet combustor

A. Antony Athithan, S. Jeyakumar

Summary: This numerical study analyzes the performance of double ramps in a strut injection scramjet combustor. The results show that the dual ramps can decelerate the flow downstream of the combustor, creating recirculation regions that help in anchoring the flame. Additionally, the combustion efficiency increases as the ramps are positioned downstream of the strut injector.

The Impact of Selected Material Flows on the Development of OECD Countries Located in Europe

Zuzana Simkova, Nadezda Petru, Mariusz Urbanski, Jan Sibert

Summary: Mining and processing of raw materials are essential for industrial value chains, and their importance is increasing with the global demand for raw materials. Despite the EU's long tradition and abundant resources, the utilization of certain critical raw materials is not optimal. The EU lacks capacity in mining, processing, and recycling, leading to high dependence on supplies from other regions. The COVID-19 crisis may drive the need for diversification and regionalization of production processes and seek economic sovereignty in strategic areas.
