Inlet and Propulsion Integration of Scram Propelled VehiclesThe material to be presented in these two lectures begins with cycle considerations of the turbojet engine combined with a ramjet engine to provide thrust over the range of Mach 0 to 5. We will then examine in some detail the aerodynamic behavior that occurs in the inlet operating near the peak speed. Following that, we shall view a numerical simulation through a baseline scramjet engine, starting at the entrance to the inlet, proceeding into the combustor and through the nozzle. In the next segment, we examine a combined rocket and ramjet propulsion system. Analysis and test results will be examined with a view toward evaluation of the concept as a practical device. Two other inlets will then be reviewed: a Mach 12 inlet and a Mach 18 configuration. Finally, we close our lectures with a discussion of the Detonation Wave engine, and inspect the physical and chemical behavior obtained from numerical simulation. A few final remarks will be made regarding the application of CFD for hypersonic propulsion components.
