What is Boundary-layer Combustion in Propulsion about?
A review and discussion of the general status of propulsion-oriented, subsonic, boundarylayer combustion research is presented. Because propulsion applications usually imply high rates of surface-mass addition and high Reynolds Numbers, the paper is confined primarily to turbulent boundary layer combustion considerations. Within this realm, diffusion-limited combustion has received the greatest attention and is the only case for which a relatively complete theoretical description is available. This theory is summarized in some detail, and its capabilities and limitations are demonstrated through comparisons with data for the simple Plexigias-oxygen propellant combination. The majority of the paper is concerned with three other relatively unexplored, but important, aspects of the boundary-layer-combustion problem that warrant further consideration from the standpoint of propulsion applications: (1) radiative heat transfer; (2) the role of chemical kinetics; and (3) transient phenomena (particularly low-frequency combustion instability). In an endeavor to better define the associated problems and suggest possible directions for future investigations, some tentative hypotheses and pre
