摘要
In order to improve the combustion characteristics and working performance of the solid fuel ramjet,a solid fuel ramjet with a central bluff body is proposed. Based on the Renault transition and Eddy-Dissipation equations,the turbulent combustion model is established,and the internal flow field of the ramjet,as well as the regression rate,thrust and total pressure loss,were numerically analyzed. The results show that the internal flow process of the ramjet with a central bluff body is more complex. There are four vortices at the rear of the bluff body,which enhances the mixing of air and gas in the engine. The high-speed airflow in the blunt body pores and the small-scale vortices on both sides ensure the stability of the blunt body wake. Compared with the typical ramjet,adding a central bluff body in the combustion chamber could increase the area of high temperature zone in the SFRJ chamber and improve the temperature in the afterburner,which can increase the average burning surface regression rate of propellant by 26.1%,the thrust of engine by 22.1% and the combustion efficiency by 8.9%. © 2022 Journal of Propulsion Technology.
