The effect of equivalence ratio and fuel distribution on combustion performance of the dual-mode scramjet engine was investigated by numerical simulation and experiments. Results showed that
under the inflow condition with Mach number of 2.0
total temperature of 1100K
and total pressure of 1.0MPa. When the total equivalence ratio was 0.6
the combustion mode was dual-mode subsonic combustion
the thermal throat was at the exit of the cavity. When the total equivalence ratio was larger than 0.6
the combustion mode was subsonic combustion
the thermal throat was at the same location in different cases. The flow structure of this dual-mode scramjet was stable under subsonic combustion mode. The fast thrust analysis method is created by choosing pressure reference points is developed
