Default Scramjet Combustion Model

I am wondering if anyone could give me any advice on the combustion model I should use for a scramjet? I am currently using a laminar finite rate model, but will probably change to a finite rate/eddy dissipation model soon.

I am just using the default hydrogen model. Are there any values I need to change, due to the high mach numbers I will be using (Mach 10 freestream, Mach 7 in chamber)

Also if anyone has any other advice that would help, that would be appreciated.

Thank you

Andrew

I would recommend using the laminar finite-rate model with the coupled implicit solver. You might also want to try importing a detailed chemkin mechanism (File -> Import) such as this one...

(c) Li, Zhao, Kazakov, and Dryer, Princeton University, 2003. ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! HOW TO USE THIS MECHANISM: ! ! Due to ! (1) limitations of CHEMKIN-II format (specifically, an inability to implement ! temperature-dependent collision efficiencies in falloff reactions) ! and ! (2) lack of fundamental understanding of the mixing rules for the falloff ! reactions with the bath gases that have different broadening factors, ! ! the present implementation represents a compromise (approximate) formulation. ! ! As a consequence, PRIOR TO ITS USE IN THE CALCULATIONS, THIS FILE HAS TO BE ! MODIFIED. DEPENDING ON WHAT BATH GAS (DILUTANT) IS MOST ABUNDANT IN YOUR SYSTEM ! (THE PRESENT CHOICES ARE N2, AR, OR HE), YOU SHOULD UNCOMMENT THE CORRESPONDING ! BLOCK FOR THE REACTION H+O2(+M)=HO2(+M), AND COMMENT THE BLOCK FOR OTHER DILUTANT(S). !
