Computational investigation of Mach number effects on the combustion zone length in supersonic flow over a ram accelerator has been carried out to provide valuable data for an on-going theoretical study of the same problem. It is found that the combustion zone length is inversely proportional to the Mach number with a significant reduction of about 33% at Mach 3.5 and about 44% at Mach 4, respectively, while comparing to the combustion zone length at Mach 2.5. This correlation provides some useful guidelines to define the control volume box in corresponding theoretical study. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.
