L'impact des méthodes numériques ainsi que du modèle de combustion sur la simulation aux grandes échelles d'un statofusée étudié expérimentalement par l'ONERA est analysé. Pour ce faire, deux codes développés respectivement par l'ONERA et le CERFACS sont utilisés pour calculer un point de fonctionnement stable. Les caractéristiques moyennes sont raisonnablement bien prédites par les deux codes. Les désaccords apparaissent dans la chambre de combustion où la position des zones réactives diffèrent soulignant l'importance des modèles utilisés. Les deux SGE produisent des contenus énergétiques fréquentiels différents. Avec CEDRE, une basse fréquence domine le spectre tandis qu'AVBP montre toute une gamme de basses fréquences qui peut être liée aux modes acoustiques de la configuration.

Ramjets are very sensitive to instabilities and their numerical predictions can only be addressed adequately by Large Eddy Simulation (LES). With this technique, solvers can be implicit or explicit and handle structured, unstructured or hybrid meshes, etc. Turbulence and combustion models are other sources of differences. The impact of these options is here investigated for the ONERA ramjet burner. To do so, two LES codes developed by ONERA and CERFACS compute one stable operating condition. Preliminary LES results of the two codes underline the overall robustness of LES. Mean flow features at the various critical sections are reasonably well predicted by both codes. Disagreement mainly appear in the chamber where combustion positions differ pointing to the importance of the combustion and subgrid mixing models. The two LES produce different energy containing motions. With CEDRE, a low frequency dominates while AVBP produces different ranges of low frequencies that can be linked with acoustic modes of the configuration.
