What is a scramjet?
A scramjet is a kinetic compression(ramjet)

with a supersonic air through-flow


supersonic combustion ramjet
Combustion speed remains 35 sec 5 sec

Premixing process

(1)

CP1 : first crossing point CP2: second crossing point CP3: third crossing point c : mixing layer thickness

Strong Interaction in CP1 : the growth rate(dc/x) of mixing layer starts to increase significantly after CP1 Weak Interaction in CP2 , CP3: smaller density gradient between fuel and air within the mixing layer

The mixing/combustion efficiency is increased when wedge is positioned adequately.
