Pulse Detonation Engines: Initiation, Propagation, and Performance
Research carried out from 2003-2005 at the Explosion Dynamics Laboratories at Caltech under an ONR contract has examined many issues critical to Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) development. These include: detonation structure imaging using OH PLIF; a narrow channel facility for examining regular and irregular detonations; detonation diffraction; mechanism of soot track generation; fundamental and...
متن کاملDetonation Initiation via Imploding Shock Waves
An imploding annular shock wave driven by a jet of air was used to initiate detonations inside a 76 mm diameter tube. The tube was filled with a test gas composed of either stoichiometric ethylene-oxygen or propane-oxygen diluted with nitrogen. The strength of the imploding shock wave and the sensitivity of the test gas were varied in an effort to find the minimum shock strength required for de...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation to Investigate the Effect of Obstacle on Detonation Wave Propagation in a Pulse Detonation Engine Combustor
Pulse detonation technology can be a revolutionary approach for propulsion system since it offers significant fuel efficiency, higher thrust to weight ratio and low cost. Although the design concept of a pulse detonation engine is comparatively simple, but the development and stabilization of sustainable detonation wave front is difficult. Consequently pulse detonation engine technology is stil...
متن کاملDetonation initiation by hypervelocity projectiles
Abstract: We report experimental studies on the initiation of detonations by hypervelocity projectiles in hydrogen-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures. The experimental facility T5 at Caltech was modified to launch 25-mm diameter projectiles at speeds around 3000 m/s. Flow visualization and pressure measurements are reported for several mixture conditions. A clear transition between shockinduced combustio...
متن کاملDetonation Initiation in a Tube via Imploding Toroidal Shock Waves
The effectiveness of imploding waves at detonation initiation of stoichiometric ethyleneand propane–oxygen– nitrogen mixtures in a tube was investigated. Implosions were driven by twice-shocked gas located at the end of a shock tube, and wave strength was varied to determine the critical conditions necessary for initiation as a function of diluent concentration for each fuel. Hydrocarbon–air mi...
