However, the flamelet model was firstly built for simulations of the low-speed flows. Therefore it is still unclear whether the assumption of the fiamelet model is reasonable in supersonic combustion. This paper tries to identify the existence of the flamelet mode in supersonic combustion. Firstly, the interaction of the turbulent fluctuation and the flame is discussed, based on which the combustion regime is distinguished. Then the charac- teristic length scale of the turbulent flows and the combustion inside the scramjet combustor are calculated and compared, which are used to identify whether the assumption of the flamelet model is reasonable in supersonic flows. The results show that for premixed combustion, due to the low fluctuation velocity in the recirculafion zone and the shear layer, the assumption of the flamelet model is established for all the flight Mach numbers, while for non-premixed combustion the assumption is also established for most of the flight Mach numbers except for very high Mach number under which the slow reaction mode dominates the combustion. In order to quantitatively examine the combustion mode, numerical calculations are performed to simulate the strut-injection supersonic combustion which has been experimentally investigated in German Aerospace Center. The results show that the supersonic combustion occurs in the fully-developed turbulent regions and the assumption of the flamelet model is established in the whole flow field.展开更多

Using the experimental data, value of the model coefficient of scalar dissipation in the flamelet model was revised specifically for supersonic flow. The computational results of the modified flamelet model were compared with the experimental results, and it was indicated that the precision of the modified flamelet model was satisfying. Based on the numerical results and flamelet theory, the influence mechanisms of turbulence fluctuation on the average state equation and chemical reaction rate were studied for the first time. It was found that the fluctuation correlation of species mass fractions and temperature has little effect on the averaged gas state equation; the temperature fluctuation decreases the product of H2O, but its effect is small; the fluctuation of species mass fractions increases the product of H2O in the region close to oxidizer while decreases the product of H2O in other regions; the fluctuation correlation of species mass fractions and temperature largely decreases the product of H2O.展开更多
