Abstract
Two dimensional computational model has been chosen to perform the numerical investigation of mixing performance by introducing innovative transverse fuel injector in parallel fuel injection based supersonic combustor. The Transverse fuel injector is placed 10 mm ahead of wedge shaped strut. The wedge shaped strut is used for parallel fuel injection. Hydrogen is selected as a fuel to generate thrust. The mixing between hydrogen and air have been started earlier in parallel with transverse fuel injector, nonetheless the combustion between fuel and air is started prior to parallel fuel injector. However the combustion efficiency is observed to be less.
