The Study of Cavity Flow and Transpiration Cooling in Supersonic Combustion

Abstract:

To unravel the flow and heat transfer mechanism of the cavity in supersonic combustion, this paper studied the interaction of cavities and shear-layers by experiments and numerical simulation. The experiments of Nero-particle Plane Laser Scatter (NPLS) and Plane Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) were conducted to study the cavity shear-layer. In the same supersonic condition the flow was studied by the method of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). And we discussed the cavity shear-layer influence to supersonic flow and combustion, analyzed the evolvement of injection shear-layer, probed into the heat transfer of supersonic combustion, and studied the transpiration cooling of cavities. The results show: in supersonic combustion, the initial flame spreads to the upstream through the cavity shear layer, the highest wall temperature occur at the rear edge of cavity, and transpiration cooling can effectively protect the wall materials.
