The vorticity and its evolution are analyzed through the five source terms for the two cases. The supersonic flow, mixing, and combustion characteristics under the two fuel/air ratios are quantitatively compared based on the efficiency indices, Takeno Flame Index, and the correlation statistics between heat release rate and mixture fraction. The time-averaged static pressure and wall heat flux profiles are well predicted for both fuel-lean and stoichiometric cases. A one-dimensional solid-gas-liquid coupling method is developed to simulate the active cooling effect. A skeletal mechanism consisting of only 28 species and 92 reactions is reduced for the kerosene combustion modeling. A reformulated partially stirred reactor (PaSR) is proposed to adapt it for high mesh resolution. Improved delayed detached Eddy simulation (IDDES) modeling based on a developed skeletal combustion mechanism of kerosene/air is conducted for a full-scale actively cooled scramjet combustor under two different global equivalence ratios.
