A cavity flame holder has been a very promising novel concept to be applied to the augmentor of a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine as it offers improvements in ignition performance, altitude relight, lean blowout limit, operating range, as well as combustion efficiency compared to conventional bluff body flame holders. The present paper describes the detailed designs of a cavity pilot augmentor and provides a laboratory-scale test rig. A series of experiments has been conducted to investigate the combustion characteristics of the test rig under atmospheric pressure. Experimental results show that for the bypass inlet temperature 343-473 K and inlet Mach number 0.25-0.40, ignition equivalence ratio and ignition pressure oscillation obtained is between 0.94-1.72 and 1.1-2.4% respectively, and lean blowout equivalence is between 0.42 and 0.92, indicating good ignition and lean blowout performances; as the total fuel-to-air ratio increases, the combustion efficiency decreases in the main at both afterburner operating mode and ramjet operating mode, while the increase of the bypass inlet Mach number or temperature is beneficial to high combustion efficiency, especially as inlet temperature over 423 K, and the combustion efficiency got in present experiment is between 70% and 95%. This paper demonstrates the feasibility for the cavity pilot flame holder to be applied to a realistic augmentor of TBCC engine preliminarily and provides reference for TBCC augmentor design.
