Abstract
Université de Provence, Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Marseille, Département Mécanique Energétique, 5, rue Enrico Fermi, 13453 Marseille Cedex, France Abstract. A numerical study of reactive flow in a two dimensional axisymmetric nozzle, which ejects burnt gases out of a combustion chamber is presented. The lower pressure of ejected gases is adapted to higher ambient air by means of an oblique shock. This oblique shock leads to a boundary layer detachment and a fresh air re-circulation between the shear layer and the nozzle wall. In this mixing zone, the air flow oxygen reacts with burnt gases, whose composition is rich in hydrogen, reaction which is strongly exothermic. The increasing temperature may damage nozzle wall and leads to a performance reduction for the engine. The numerical method is based on a finite volume scheme and allows the resolution of Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady, compressible flows, taking into account the chemical reactions.
