Evolution and status of CFD techniques for scramjet applications

Abstract

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are presently applied to the design and analysis of scramjet propulsion systems for missiles and aircraft operating at speeds in excess of Mach 5, in forms ranging from simple inviscid codes for parametric studies of inlet geometries to Navier-Stokes codes incorporating chemistry models which address complex scramjet combustion phenomena. Attention is given to the development history of CFD for the hypersonic regime, as well as to scramjet flowfield modeling in inlets, combustors and nozzles, and prospective development trends.
