Abstract: In this study, experiments were conducted in a Mach 2.92 supersonic flow to investigate the combustion process in an ethylene-fueled model scramjet combustor with a rear-wall-expansion geometry. It is concluded that at low ...

Abstract: The ignition transient phase in a model supersonic combustor with transverse fuel injection upstream of a cavity flame holder was experimentally investigated. Three types of ignition processes for scramjet startup were ...
