Keywords: scramjet combustion, large eddy simulation, self-ignition, flame stabilization

The development of hypersonic flight vehicles requires the solution of many challenging technical problems, in particular with respect to the engine. Here, the development of a Large Eddy Simulation model for high-speed turbulent combustion will be described, and predictions will be compared with experimental data from two scramjet combustors.
