Round combustors as a very desirable kind of supersonic combustor, face the difficulty of combustion organization. The typical cone-strut structure can accomplish some combustion organization, but it has a very high congestion ratio and is hence inefficient. To solve this problem, a method of combining cone-strut configuration and plasma/oxygen addition is proposed in this paper, and its scheme, experiment and combustion mechanism are studied. In the scheme of combustion organization, the fuel injection scheme and plasma arrangement scheme of the approach are projected, accomplished with the advantages of reducing congestion ratio from 20%-26%–13%. In the experiments of combustion organization, the effect of realizing combustion organization of such approach is proved, and three typical combustion organization states, which may be due to low congestion ratio, are displayed one by one, and its transformation speeds between three typical combustion organization states are investigated. In the speculations of mechanism, a set of simplified equations are provided for the first time, and these equations indicate that why the approach is effective and why the three kinds of combustion organization states display one by one. This research has theoretical and technical implications for the development of cone-strut configuration in round combustors. • Provide a combustion organization method of cone-strut/plasma torch with oxygen feedstock for round supersonic combustor. • Experiments confirm feasibility of this method and point out the key stage that affect combustion organization. • The wakeflow equations including combustion reaction is used to explain the feasibility and particularity of the method.
