Show moreThe study concerns the propagation of shockwaves within an inlet of a scramjet engine and effect of inlet geometry variation on performance. A Python code was developed to simulate and visualize a flowfield within a scramjet inlet, based on inviscid oblique shock theory. The program was validated against NASA Shock software, and the results differed only by round-off error (0.05%). Subsequently a geometric sensitivity study was conducted, showing that throughout acceleration from Mach 5 to Mach 20 parameters like inlet height could be varied to ensure constant number of shocks within an inlet (preventing discontinuous changes of flowfield), whereas lower wedge angle could control compression required for optimal combustion. Correspondingly, a trajectory was determined with a constraint on static pressure entering combustion chamber (100 kPa). For an arbitrary baseline inlet geometry, it was established that beyond Mach 10 the scramjet would exceed structural load limit, despite delivering sufficient conditions for rapid combustion. Nevertheless, below Mach 10 it would operate efficiently, proving that hydrocarbon-fueled scramjets can have a fixed geometry. For higher speeds, a variable geometry is a necessity.
