As scramjet engine development moves toward higher and higher speeds, it will be important to continue to ground test complete nose-to-tail configurations at true flight conditions. Above Mach 10, the freestream total pressure requirements can only be met by an expansion-tube facility. To establish the practicality of ground-testing complete scramjet configurations at high Mach numbers, an expansion-tunnel facility is used to test a generic two-dimensional scramjet at a Mach 10 replication condition. As the flow produced in an expansion-tube facility is transient in nature, a method for analyzing point measurements within the scramjet is developed. A transient numerical simulation ofthe engine configuration without fuel injection is used to verify the validity of the technique, as well as to provide a reference data set for comparison to experimental data. These experiments show that stable supersonic combustion is established during the test time. Using the developed transient analysis, accurate quasi-steady pressure data at true flight conditions can be inferred from scramjet test measurements in an expansion-tube facility.
