Abstract
Fully reusable launch vehicle will reduce the transportation cost and increase the space launch demands. Introduction of airbreathing engine will afford system weigth penalty necessary to realise reuablity by reducing on-board oxygen consumption. Enabling prediction of scramjet engine and scramjet-rocket combined cycle engine performance is prime target of the present study, especially on reacting flow within combustor with presence of separation to evaluate combustion control methods.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
In combustors, supersonic / subsonic flows are mixed and chemical reaction takes place, and LES or LES/RANS Hybrid methods are found to be promissing. Huge calculation resource is required for such calculations, and JSS matchs the requirement for prompt output .
Achievements of the Year
Effects of fuel injection angle combustion phenomena were investigated. Either upstream oriented injector or perpendicular injector was installed at upstream of a flame-holding cavity. LES/RANS hybrid calculation was applied for unsteady calculation, and so-called cavity flame, i.e, flame propegated from the anchor flame within the flame-holding cavity, was observed for the perpendicular injection, while so-called jet-wake flame, i.e., flame attached to teh fuel jet, was observed for the upstream injection (Fig. 1). THis difference in flame structure as well as the mixing enhancement due to aerodynamic effect resulted in higher mixing efficiency and higher combustion efficiency (Fig. 2).
