Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the flame anchoring mechanism in the test case MASCOTTE C-60 RCM2 on supercritical hydrogen/oxygen combustion at 60 bar, with transcritical (liquid) injection of oxygen. The case is simulated by means of the in-house parallel code HeaRT in the three-dimensional LES framework. The cubic Peng–Robinson equation of state in its improved translated volume formulation is assumed. Diffusive mechanisms and transport properties are accurately modeled. A finite-rate detailed scheme involving the main radicals, already validated for high-pressure H2/O2 combustion, is adopted. The flow is analysed in terms of temperature, hydrogen and oxygen instantaneous spatial distributions, evidencing the effects of the vortex shedding from the edges of the hydrogen injector and of the separation of the oxygen stream in the divergent section of its tapered injector on the flame anchoring and topology. Combustion conditions are characterised by looking at the equivalence ratio and compressibility factor distributions.
