Ignition in a supersonic hydrogen–air mixing layer interacting with an oblique shock wave is investigated analytically under conditions such that the postshock flow is supersonic and the peak postshock temperature before ignition remains below the crossover temperature. The study requires consideration of the flow structure in the postshock ignition kernel found around the point of maximum temperature, which is assumed in this study to lie at an intermediate location across the mixing layer, as occurs in mixing layers subject to significant viscous dissipation. The ignition kernel displays a balance between the rates of chemical reaction and postshock flow expansion, including the acoustic interactions of the chemical heat release with the shock wave leading to increased front curvature. The problem is formulated with account taken of the strong temperature dependence of the chemical heat-release rate characterizing the ignition chemistry in the low-temperature regime analyzed here. It is shown how consideration of a two-step reduced chemical–kinetic mechanism derived in previous work leads to a boundary-value problem that can be solved analytically to determine ignition as a fold bifurcation, with the turning point in the diagram of peak perturbation induced by the chemical reaction as a function of the Damköhler number providing the critical conditions for ignition.

speed-up
Because of the very high speed of the gas stream, the
residence time of the reactants in the combustor is short
ignition cannot be achieved by relying on diffusion and heat
conduction alone
Shock waves may help to heat the mixture and speed-up the mixing
process! (Marble et al. 1987, Menon 1989; Lu & Wu 1991; Marble 1994; Nuding
1996; Brummund & Nuding 1997; GÂťenin & Menon 2010; Zhang et al. 2015))

16. Concluding Remarks
The ignition analyses that have been developed here on the
basis of a laminar flow configuration help to clarify the
manner in which shock waves may promote ignition in
supersonic mixing layers to lead to establishment of diffusion
flames in supersonic flows.
As in classical Frank-Kamenetskii theory of thermal
explosions, ignition is found to occur as a fold bifurcation, in
which the cooling processes that compete with the chemical
heat release involve inviscid gasdynamic acoustic-wave
propagation (instead of the familiar diffusive heat conduction)
Future research should address other ignition conditions
(including post-shock temperatures above crossover) as well
as influences of turbulence flow on the ignition dynamics
