Abstract:Scramjets are an appealing alternative to traditional rocket engines for many applications such as access to space, long-range strike missile capabilities, and civilian transport. Their advantages over rockets and traditional jet engines include a stationary flow path with no moving parts and higher payload capacity due to their airbreathing operation. A major hindrance to the maturation of scramjet technology is the high-cost and high-risk associated with flight testing. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) sim… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
