- Abstract
This paper details the influence of geometry variation such as shape transition of the isolator from its entry to exit on overall performance of scramjet isolators. The experiments are conducted to assess the performance of two isolator geometries of circle to pentagon and circle to hexagon. The pseudo shock length is obtained for the two cases by observing the sudden pressure rise in pressure plots taken along the wall. It is found that the shock train length is shorter for circular to pentagon duct compared with the other duct. Hence, this duct is preferable in order to prevent inlet non-start induced by the pressure rise in the combustion chamber.
