A numerical investigation of a multiple-jet array dual-mode scramjet combustor has been performed utilizing a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code with finite-rate chemistry. Results indicate substantial upstream interaction in the form of an oblique shock/expansion train upstream of the combustor, culminating in completely subsonic flow in the vicinity of fuel injectors. The flow returns to supersonic velocities in the downstream (diverging) portion of the combustor. Mixing and combustion are rapid in this flow and predicted combustion efficiency closely matches experimental data. However, comparisons of wall pressure between the simulation and the experiment show i) substantial underprediction of the upstream interaction distance and ii) moderate overprediction of peak pressure in the vicinity of the entrance of the combustor. This can be at least partially explained by examination of available experimental data; this data shows a very significant movement of the entering vitiated airflow to the sides of the combustor (around the injector array and the upstream interaction front as a whole). This important effect is currently being examined by an extension of the modeling to include the entire half-duct of the same combustor geometry.
