Hypersonic flight vehicles have potential applications in strategic defence, space missions, and future civilian high-speed transportation systems. ...Scramjet-powered air-breathing hypersonic vehicles experience extreme heat loads induced by combustion, shock waves and viscous heat dissipation.

The urgent need to combat global warming has spurred legislative efforts within the transport sector to transition away from fossil fuels. Hydrogen is increasingly being utilised as a green energy vector, which can aid the decarbonisation of transport, including internal combustion engines. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is widely used as a tool to study and optimise combustion systems especially in combination with new fuels like hydrogen. Since the behaviour of the injection event significantly impacts combustion and emissions formation especially in direct injection applications, the accurate modelling of H2 injection is imperative for effective design of hydrogen combustion systems. This work aims to evaluate unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) modelling of the advective transport process and related numerical methods.

Abstract At supersonic aircraft speeds, aerodynamically heated surfaces, e.g., nose, wing leading edges, are infrared (IR) signature sources from the tactically crucial frontal aspect. This study numerically predicts and then illustrates the minimization of IR contrast between the nose and background sky radiance by the emissivity optimization (εw,opt) technique, which has the least performance penalties. The IR contrast between the aircraft nose and its replaced background in 1.9-2.9 μm short-wave IR (SW-IR), 3-5 μm medium-wave IR (MW-IR), and 8-12 μm long-wave IR (LW-IR) bands are obtained. The IR contrast especially in LW-IR (i) increases with flight Mach number (M ∞) for a given flight altitude (H) and εw (ii) decreases with increasing H for a given M ∞ and εw. The εw,opt for a flight altitude of 5 km is found to decrease from 0.99 at M ∞ = 0.001 (low subsonic) in all three bands to 2 × 10−4 in MW-IR and 0.0213 in LW-IR bands at M ∞ = 3 (high supersonic).
