Abstract

The numerical simulation has been carried out to investigate the reactive flow characteristics for hydrogen supersonic combustion with recessed cavity. Several inclined cavities with a series value of length-to-depth ratio (L/D_u), aft wall angle (θ), aft wall depth (D_d), and H₂ jet location (L_jet) were evaluated for mixing enhancement and combustion stability. It is noted that the hot recirculation zone full of radicals in cavity is the paramount mechanism for stable flame holding. Moreover, combustor with L/D_u = 7-9, θ = 30°, D_u/D_d =1.0, and L_jet = 24 mm is recommended regarding combustion efficiency and total pressure recovery.
