ABSTRACT:
A supersonic combustion apparatus and method for using the same including a fixed geometric nozzle having a converging area, throat, and a diverging area, at least one fuel injection means and at least one flame stabilization means located in the divergent area, and an exit plane adjacent and downstream to the diverging area, where an initial first injection/flame stabilization means is located in the diverging area and the exit plane Mach is varied by heat addition in the diverging area by at least one more fuel injection means.
