The newly developed self-adaptive turbulence eddy simulation (SATES) method coupled with three turbulent combustion models, i.e., the finite-rate model, eddy-dissipation model, and steady laminar flamelet model, is used to numerically study the non-premixed supersonic hydrogen combustion in a DLR (German Aerospace Center) model scramjet combustor with a wedge flame holder. The study investigates the interactions of the shock waves and the flowfields as well as the flame structures. The SATES-based combustion simulation results demonstrate satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data. The study also explores the effect of fuel injection temperature on the combustion process and reveals that an increase in hydrogen temperature improves combustion efficiency. Additionally, thermal radiation effects are considered with the discrete ordinates method/weighted-sum-of-gray-gases method. The results indicate that thermal radiation heat transfer reduces the flame temperature and significantly affects the flame shape and temperature fluctuations. Also, radiation heat flux is an important factor and should be included in supersonic combustion simulations. The study demonstrates the potential of the SATES method for complex supersonic combustion and also provides a reference for thermal radiation in supersonic combustion.
