COLD FLOW ANALYSIS OF FLOW OVER A RAMJET ENGINE

Ramjet engines operate at very high altitudes and velocities creating a lot of flow complexity in and around them. A ramjet engine has been simulated at a velocity of Mach 3, to find out the streamlines and flow properties in and around the engine. The spike of the ramjet generates the required compression before the combustion process replacing the role of rotating compressors and turbines. Effect of flow properties because of shocks generated near the spike was majorly concentrated in this article. Reynolds shear stress model was used to capture the turbulence phenomena of the flow.
