INTRODUCTION
Applications of supersonic flow combustion to aerospace propulsion are still at the experimental and numerical research stage. However, this phenomenon is used to reduce drag, for guidance and to generate additional thrust in certain missiles and rocket engines in particular.
The aim of this article is to present the balance equations used to study supersonic flows with chemical reactions. The most significant solutions and results on this subject will also be presented.
This article is the first in a series devoted to Combustion in supersonic flow:
One-, two- and three-dimensional calculations [BE 8 340] ;Turbulence. Applications .
