Burrows and Kurkov Supersonic Mixing/Combustion

Figure 1. Experiment test section schematic

Introduction

This case examines mixing and finite-rate hydrogen-air chemical reactions occuring in Mach 2.44 vitiated air. The length of the combustor section is 35.6 cm. The zero of the x-coordinate is located at the hydrogen injection step and the y-coordinate at the bottom wall at the exit plane. The experimental schematic, from Burrows and Kurkov, is presented in Figure 1.

Computational Studies

NOTE: Wind is structured-only version of the code. The last release of Wind code was version 5 and is NOT supported/updated and superseded by Wind-US. Wind-US supports both, structured and unstructured meshes. While some files, options, and keywords in studies performed with Wind code might still be valid, please exercise caution and refer to the regularly updated Wind-US documentation for current options and keywords.
