Supersonic mixing and combustion enhancement is primarily focused to increase the efficiency of scramjet engine. The research on a fuel injection system performance is widely developing today. In scramjet engine, the air and fuel mixing is improper due to the supersonic flow inside the combustor. The flame instabilization occurs due to less resident time of air which tends to affect the output efficiency and it leads to loss of fuel energy. Hence apart from the modern research studies on various fuel injection techniques inside the supersonic combustor, this study provides the idea of various alternating wedge designs to enhance the air and fuel mixture. Also reducing the consumption of fuel in the combustor gives a great impact in usage of fuel energy efficiently in the aviation field.
