Abstract

Using an In-House Developed Computational Fluid Dynamics (Cfd) Software, Paras-3D,
Full Engine Simulation of a Scramjet Engine (Along With Cone Cylinder Fore-Body) Is Carried Out,
Burning Hydrogen as Fuel. This Paper Describes the Results of Cfd Simulations at Two Different
Mach Numbers and Equivalence Ratios and Comparison With the Flight Measured Engine
Pressure. Pressure Rise Due to Supersonic Combustion Captured by Computational Method Has
Very Good Agreement With Flight Measured Pressure Data. This Brings Good Confidence in The
Usage of Cfd Tools for Scramjet Engine Performance Prediction.

Keywords
