摘要
The auto-ignition caused by oblique shocks was investigated experimentally in a supersonic flow regime, with the incoming flow at a Mach number of 2.5. The transient characteristics of the auto-ignition caused by shock evolvements were recorded with a schlieren photography system, and the initial flame kernel generation and subsequent propagation were recorded using a high-speed camera. The fuel mixing characteristics were captured using NPLS (nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering method). This work aimed to reveal the flame spread mechanism in a supersonic flow regime. The effects of airflow total temperature, fuel injection pressure, and cavity length in the process of auto-ignition and on the auto-ignitable boundary were investigated and analyzed. From this work, it was found that the initial occurrence of auto-ignition is first induced by oblique shocks and then propagated upstream to the recirculation region, to establish a sustained flame. The auto-ignition performance can be improved by increasing the injection pressure and airflow total temperature. In addition, a cavity with a long length has benefits in controlling the flame spread from the induced state to a sustained state. The low-speed recirculating region created in the cavity is beneficial for the flame spread, which has the function of flame-holding and prevents the flame from being blown away.
