A supersonic kerosene ignition and flame stabilization experiments were conducted on a directly connected supersonic combustion test bench. The kerosene fuel was jetted by wall jet at Ma 2.5 airflow. High-speed photography was used to record the CH* emission during ignition, extinguishing and evolution of the flame. Experiments of different equivalence ratios were performed. The processes of ignition, flame holding, and extinguishing were observed as well. The experiment showed the characteristics of ignition core initiation and extension. The time of ignition increased with the increase of equivalence ratios. Flame stability during the process of Ma 2.5 at the entrance of the combustion chamber was also studied. An equilibrium flame pattern of shock wave and flame was discovered in the experiment. In the stable flame state, shock waves near the kerosene jet orifice promote atomization and blending, and the combustion chamber pressure with stable flame makes the shock waves stable near the kerosene jet orifice, thus forming the flame stability model. The whole process and characteristics of kerosene ignition, flame holding and extinguishing are revealed in the experiment.
