Abstract: A method of increasing the efficiency of mixing in an air-breathing rocket engine is discussed. Three-dimensional simulations confirm the advantages of the proposed method based on using normal supply of products of incomplete combustion of a pasty propellant into the wake zone behind a bluff body in an air flow.

Keywords: air-breathing rocket engine, mixing, efficiency, afterburning chamber.
