Abstract | Hypersonic airbreathing propulsion for access to space has several advantages over conventional rockets. However, to achieve the theoretical propulsion efficiencies, many technological challenges, such as fast and efficient mixing of the fuel with air, still need to be resolved. Several scramjet inlet geometries naturally generate vortices that could be used for mixing enhancement. Thorough characterization of these vortices is required for studying their effect on mixing and to determine the optimum way to utilize these naturally occurring vortical flow structures. For this purpose, an algorithm that tracks and extracts data along a vortex from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow field solution was implemented. It performs a search in slices of the computational solution, based on Galilean-invariant criteria for vortices. The algorithm has been used to analyse the vortices generated by compression corner and within a real scramjet inlet. Results are presented showing the insight in vortex formation and evolution provided by the algorithm. |
