Numerical study of trapped vortex combustors characteristics in small ramjets by Chen, Song

“…The results show that the optimal cavity size that traps a vortex inside can be determined by calculating the drag coefficient. Because the designed small combustor does not have bypass air directed into the cavity, injecting all the fuel directly in the optimal cavity always leads to an overly fuel-rich condition. …”
