Abstract
Starting of an air-breathing engine with fuel injection distributed along the combustion chamber is numerically simulated. Issues of principal importance are the presence of a compressed ar jet generating a throttling effect and preliminary deceleration of the flow to transonic velocities. Averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed by the SST, SST k-ω, or k-ε turbulence model are solved. Hydrogen and ethylene combustion is simulated by one reaction. The computations are performed for various values of the turbulent kinetic energy in the flow. A pulsed transonic regime of hydrogen and ethylene combustion is discovered.
