In this work, the dynamic combustion characteristics in a scramjet engine were investigated using three diagnostic data analysis methods: DMD (Dynamic Mode Decomposition), STFT (Short-Time Fourier Transform), and CEMA (Chemical Explosive Mode Analysis). The data for the analyses were obtained through a 2D numerical experiment using a DDES (Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation) turbulence model, the UCSD (University of California at San Diego) hydrogen/oxygen chemical reaction mechanism, and high-resolution schemes. The STFT was able to detect that oscillations above 50 kHz identified as dominant in FFT results were not the dominant frequencies in a channel-type combustor. In the analysis using DMD, it was confirmed that the critical point that induced a complete change of mixing characteristics existed between an injection pressure of 0.75 MPa and 1.0 MPa. A combined diagnostic analysis that included a CEMA was performed to investigate the dynamic combustion characteristics. The differences in the reaction steps forming the flame structure under each combustor condition were identified, and, through this, it was confirmed that the pressure distribution upstream of the combustor dominated the dynamic combustion characteristics of this scramjet engine. From these processes, it was confirmed that the combined analysis method used in this paper is an effective approach to diagnose the combustion characteristics of a supersonic combustor.

Purpose The purpose this experimentation is to study the combustion characteristics of compression ignition engine fuelled with mineral diesel. The reason behind the numerical simulation is to validate the experimental results of the combustion characteristics. Design/methodology/approach The numerical analysis was carried out in this study using MATLAB Simulink, and the zero dimensional combustion model was applied to predict the combustion parameters such as in cylinder pressure, pressure rise rate and rate of heat release. Findings Incorporating the dynamic combustion duration with respect to variable engine load in the zero dimensional combustion model using MATLAB Simulink reduced the variation of experimental and numerical outputs between 5.5 and 6 per cent in this analysis. Research limitations/implications Validation of the experimental analysis is very limited. Investigations were performed using zero dimensional combustion model, which is the very appropriate for analysing the combustion characteristics. Originality/value Existing studies assumed that the combustion duration period as invariant in their numerical analysis, but with the real time scenario occurring in CI engine, that is not the case. In this analysis, mass fraction burnt considering the dynamic combustion duration was incorporated in the heat transfer model to reduce the error variation between experimental and numerical studies.

ABSTRACTThe combustion instability characteristics in a model dump combustor with an exhaust nozzle were experimentally investigated. The first objective was to understand the effects of operating conditions and geometric conditions on combustion instability. The second objective was to examine more generalised parameters that affect the onset of combustion instability. Three different premixed gases consisting of air and hydrocarbon fuels (C2H4, C2H6, C3H8) were burnt in the dump combustor at various inlet velocity, equivalence ratio and combustion chamber length. Dynamic pressure transducer and photomultiplier tube with a bandpass filter were used to measure pressure fluctuation and CH* chemiluminescence data. Peak frequencies and their maximum power spectral densities of pressure fluctuations at same equivalence ratios showed different trends for each fuel. However, the dynamic combustion characteristics of pressure fluctuations displayed consistent results under similar characteristics chemistry times regardless of the used hydrocarbon fuels. The results showed that characteristic chemistry time and characteristic convection time influenced combustion instabilities. It was found that the convective-acoustic combustion instability could be prevented by increasing the characteristic chemistry time and characteristic convection time.

Dynamic combustion characteristics of a rectangular scramjet combustor with single-side expansion were studied experimentally and numerically. Experiments were implemented with an isolator entrance Mach number of 3.46, and an air stagnation temperature of 1430 K. Ethylene was utilized to fuel the combustor over an equivalence ratio range of 0.20 < φ < 0.63. Results indicated that the combustion modes varied from different equivalence ratios. For an intermediate φ = 0.375, an intermittent dynamic combustion occurred. During the dynamic process, the flame sometimes stabilized in the jet wake of the top cavity, and at other time it oscillated between dual parallel cavities. The pseudo-shock train traveled periodically along the length of the combustor, and the penetration depths of the two injectors exchanged. Quantitative analysis illustrated that the average frequency of unsteady combustion was approximately 200 Hz. The reason for the occurrence of the self-sustained dynamic process was related to the interactions between the shock-induced separated region and heat release.
