Experimental and theoretical studies are being conducted to explore techniques to enhance mixing in scramjet combustors using parallel fuel injection from the base of swept and unswept wall-mounted ramps. The experiments reported herein were conducted using Mach 2 and 3 combustor inlet conditions. Supporting computational and cold flow studies indicated that the observed enhanced mixing for the swept ramp configuration is primarily due to the substantially higher degree of vorticity and entrainment generated by the swept trailing edges.
