Abstract
Development of an efficient scramjet combustor requires the use of computational models due to the cost of full-scale physical testing in the speed regime of Mach 10 through Mach 18. This study focuses upon the database generated by one such computational model, SHIP3D, which describes a generic scramjet combustor using ramp-type file! injectors. Three generalized parametric equations have been developed from this database, which describe the fuel-air mixing efficiency within the scramjet combustor as a function of normalized-axial combustor distance, ramp injector-region lift coefficient, and stoichiometry. It is shown that one of the three equations nearly models the trends as accurate as a first order least-squares regression of the computational data.
