A fuel support plate for improving mixed combustion in rbcc dual-mode combustors

Abstract

The invention discloses a fuel supporting plate for improving non-premixed combustion of a RBCC (rocket-based combined cycle) bimodal combustion chamber. The streamwise vortex fuel supporting plate is in a structure with unilateral wedged bosses, and two fuel supporting plate bodies are symmetrically distributed on two sides of a rocket. The front portion of the fuel supporting plate is wedged, the rear portion of the fuel supporting plate is straight, and three wedged bosses at equal intervals are arranged on the outer side of the front portion and fixedly connected with the supporting plate. The upper portion of a fuel jet block is provided with two screw holes connected with fuel jet hoses, fuel passage holes in the fuel jet block are communicated with the screw holes, and the lower portion of the fuel jet block is connected with a passage on the fuel supporting plate. The fuel jet block is fixed onto an engine, and jet positions can be changed in different experimental operating conditions. By means of the structure of the fuel supporting plate, guide vortexes of fluids on the lateral sides of the supporting plate can be intensified to enable fuel mixing to be more effective, a regular shear layer on the rear side of the supporting plate is reasonably destroyed to achieve higher turbulence level of the shear layer on the rear side of the supporting plate, the area of a combustion boundary layer is broadened, and the fuel can be better mixed with an incoming flow to form a larger combustion area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a fuel support plate structure for enhancing the mixing and diffusion of fuel, and in particular relates to a fuel support plate used for improving the mixing combustion of an RBCC dual-mode combustion chamber. Background technique [0002] The rocket-ramjet combined cycle (RBCC) engine organically combines the rocket engine and the ramjet in the same flow channel, so that it can enable the optimal working mode at different flight altitudes and Mach numbers, and give full play to the respective rocket engines and ramjets. The characteristics of the RBCC engine make the RBCC engine have the advantages of zero-speed start and reusability while having high specific impulse and high thrust-to-weight ratio.

How to achieve efficient and stable combustion of fuel in a short combustion chamber has always been the core issue of the RBCC dual-mode combustion chamber. In the document AIAA2007-5404 "PylonFuelInjectorDesignforaScramjetCombustor" it is mentioned that the fuel injection is performed by inserting wedge-shaped struts, and at the same time Adding a staggered structure at the end of the support plate can enhance the mixing of fuel. The main technical principle is to use the low-velocity recirculation zone formed at the end of the support plate to provide sufficient mixing and reaction time for the fuel, so that it can meet the flow conditions of self-sustained ignition, and the recirculation zone The velocity gradient and turbulence intensity of the edge shear layer are very large, which is conducive to the effective mixing of fuel and incoming air. The staggered wedge-shaped structure at the tail can further increase the turbulence of the flow and enhance the mixing. The vortex structure in the wake area can play a role. A certain flame stabilization effect is beneficial to the further spread of the flame, but the incoming flow conditions and fuel injection positions in the study are relatively single, and are considered based on the injection of gaseous fuel, and both experiments and numerical simulations are based on It is carried out under cold flow (fuel does not ignite and burn), but for wide Mach flight and RBCC engines using hydrocarbon fuels, the application of struts still needs further design and improvement
