The role of multiple vortices in the flame stabilization process of a 4 inlet side dump ramjet was determined. Very rich propane air mixtures were injected at the head to simulate a gas generator ramjet. Swirl was introduced by canting the inlets at the dump station. The inlet angle, swirl angle, and the distance of the head from the dump station were varied over a wide range to determine the importance of the vortices located at the dump stations and at the head. It is shown that with proper design, the vortex at the head can be made to perform as a pilot burner allowing a great deal of versatility of operation and it appears to provide all the criteria of pollution free operation.
