Abstract:The present work details the preliminary analysis and design of a model scramjet combustor intended to serve as a research platform for mixing and combustion studies in support of current non-reactive research. The shock tunnel located at the Aerodynamics Research Center of The University of Texas at Arlington, capable of producing test conditions simulating scramjet flight at Mach numbers ranging from ~5 to ~16 at altitudes of ~24 km to ~85 km, will serve as the test facility for the model combustor.
