Numerical investigation of mixing is performed at Mach 2.0 model Scramjet combustor employing parallel strut injection schemes for fuel. In the present investigation, basic strut injector is modified in such a way to produce additional vortices in streamwise direction and improve fuel-air mixing. Air is injected at Mach 2.0 at the combustor inlet and fuel is injected at sonic speed from the blunt end of the strut. The flow field involving high-speed turbulent mixing and heat addition was modeled by three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations. A realizable k-epsilon model was chosen to close the turbulence problem with the default model constants. Non-premixed combustion of hydrogen and air is modeled using the mixture fraction beta-pdf framework. Turbulence-chemistry interactions are handled by a strained flamelet model. Comparisons of numerical results with experimental results have demonstrated the accuracy and applicability of computational grid and a numerical scheme for hot and cold flow solutions. The shock-shear layer interaction present within the combustor increases the local turbulent intensity and has a positive effect on mixing. The mixing efficiency obtained with improved strut injector is compared with the basic strut. Improved strut injection scheme showed a mixing efficiency of >95% with a 45% reduction in length. Further combustion efficiency is calculated in the streamwise direction and plot follows the similar trend as the mixing efficiency. The proposed modification of strut geometry showed improved mixing and combustion performance. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
