Abstract
It is very complex and difficult to measure combustion time of aluminum particles in steam. The comparative calculations of several combustion models indicated that there exist greater differences among them. Based on comparative analysis, the combustion time was calculated by means of Brooks model, and other parameters of the particle-trajectory models were obtained. The flow field of afterburner of a water ramjet was numerically simulated and the calculated temperature field was in agreement with the test results, which indicate that the method is feasible. The presented numerical models can be used as the references for combustion organizing study.
