Abstract
Pressure oscillations in a side-dump ramjet engine
have been studied, using a one-dimensional numerical
analysis. The engine is treated in two parts; the inlet
section, including a region of two-phase flow downstream
of fuel injection, and a dump combustor. Each
region is treated separately and matched with the
other. Following calculation of the mean flow field, the
oscillatory characteristics of the engine are determined
by its reponse to a disturbance imposed on the
mean fiow. Results have shown favorable comparison
with experimental data obtained at the Naval Weapons
Center, China Lake
