Abstract: The aim of this work is to develop a numerical approach, based on the Favre's averaged Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a turbulence model and with a complex finite rate Air/Hydrogen combustion kinetic model to simulate the unsteady axisymetric supersonic hydrogen-air mixing processes. The main application is dedicated to the scramjet hypersonic air-breathing propulsion engine. To achieve this goal the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model (SA) with correction terms to model the compressibility effects and the complete finite rate chemistry model of Jachimowsky involving 13 species and 153 reactions have been implemented in a finite volume code.
