Partially or completely reusing launch vehicles significantly reduces expenses for
manufacturing and testing in space missions. Thus, Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLV) can …

This study investigates the combustion performance of a number of novel, crescent shaped
cavities placed directly in front of the fuel injection point in a scramjet combustor. Cavities …

During the operation of hypersonic vehicles, a reciprocal coupling effect is manifested
between the inlet and the combustion chamber. This results in an unavoidable non …

Scramjet inlets typically ingest air that has been processed by a vehicle forebody. The
forebody generates entropy and boundary layers that affect the thermodynamic properties of …

High-performance scramjet engines suitable for hypersonic flight are achievable with better
integration of propulsion, airframe, and materials disciplines during the conceptual design …

The optimization of air-breathing hypersonic propulsion system designs is crucial for
ensuring the viability of aircraft in extreme thermal environments. Integrating a reliable heat …

Numerical simulations are presented to compare the heat addition, thermodynamic cycle,
and mixing efficiency of generic uniform-and nonuniform-compression scramjets. The work …

Internal-external coupled full-scale modeling for a rectangular-to-elliptical shape-transition
(REST) scramjet under a high flight Mach number of 12 was modeled by Improved Delayed …

The impact of thermal compression on combustion has been studied experimentally in a
hydrogen-fuelled, non-uniform scramjet flowpath. The experimental model consisted of a …

With the development of supersonic/hypersonic vehicles, the influence of non-uniform flow
has attracted increasing attention. Non-uniform flow exists everywhere in a scramjet, which …
