7 Center Objective The primary objective of the center is to advance the understanding of the critical mode transitions and supersonic/hypervelocity flow regimes of combined cycle propulsion by: 1. Developing an advanced suite of computational modeling and simulation tools for predicting combined cycle flow physics 2. Utilizing the unique facilities available to the Center and advanced flowfield diagnostics to conduct experiments that will: a. Provide insight into the fundamental physics of the complex flow in combined cycle hypersonic propulsion systems, b. Provide detailed data sets for the development and validation of models of combined cycle flow physics, and, 3. Bringing together the modelers and experimentalists in a synergistic way to work on common problems in hypersonic combined cycle propulsion 7

8 Research Approach 1. Develop and implement a hierarchy of novel methodologies for high fidelity simulations of various flow paths. These methodologies range from: a. Current production-level Generation I RANS simulations, to b. New Generation II hybrid LES/RANS and LES/S-FMDF methods, to c. The most sophisticated envisioned form of LES/EPVS-FMDF for Generation III prediction of hypervelocity reacting flows, and d. Detailed/reduced kinetics models for thermal decomposition/oxidation of relevant hydrocarbon fuels. 2. Conduct experiments that will: a. Elucidate the fundamental flow physics of compressible, turbulent reacting flows in combined cycle systems, b. Measure reacting flow turbulent statistics and novel fuel-air mixing and flameholding approaches through the development and application of advanced diagnostics, c. Develop benchmark data sets with quantified experimental uncertainty for the purposes of developing accurate Generation I, II and III models.

24 Chemistry Modeling: Detailed and Simplified Kinetic Models Rate parameters of detailed kinetic models are associated with large uncertainty factors, which lead to large variation in flame extinction limits, eg. extinction strain rates from 800 to 1600 s -1 Global sensitivity analysis can yield valuable information about first-order effects and second-order effects of rate parameters Comprehensive model reduction strategies developed have included ignition, propagation, and extinction limits and has been accomplished via PCA and QSSA - Starting from a detailed ethylene-air kinetic model containing 111 species in 784 reversible reactions, skeletal model with species and reduced reaction model with species have been developed Develop computational efficient strategies of implementing reduced order models (i.e. skeletal, reduced, RCCE) using ISAT methodology. Implementation in Partially-Stirred Reactor simulations have shown a reduction of 1000 times over direct evaluation of the detailed model. 24
