Abstract
Auto-ignition and combustion in supersonic mixing layers is of particular importance because of applications in scramjet combustors. Among other problem, a too small growth rate in high-speed mixing layers for obtaining a good combustion efficiency over a reasonable combustion chamber length. Numerical simulations are required to understand how is auto-ignition phenomena with the induced combustion regime. Recently a few studies were devoted to the modelling of supersonic reacting mixing layers [1], [2], [3], [4]. This paper is a contribution for the understanding of the influence of coherent structures in the reactive mixing layers.
