Reactive shear layer mixing and growth rate effects on afterburning properties for axisymetric rocket engine plumes

A semi-empirical model was developed for predicting the after burning ignition location of film cooled rocket engines. The model is based on two characteristic distances, the distance required for turbulent mixing to generate a combustible mixture with the reactive film layer and the distance trav...
