Abstract
ry at simulated flight conditions, including supersonic cruising conditions. The spiral lines initiator demonstrated a lower total pressure loss with compared to the geometry with rings, and thus was the preferred initiator configuraiton. Experimental values for the turbulence were found to be significantly lower than the computed values at similar conditions when using the k-e model. Finally, successful ignitions of the JP-10/Air initiator at frequencies of up to 20 Hz were experimentally demonstrated.
