In this paper we present the result of measurement of thrust of single tube valve less Pulse detonation engine. The thrust generated by the repetitive detonation from a 48 mm inner diameter ,60 mm outer diameter and 70 cm length (various lengths of tube varies from 20 cm to 100 cm in the steps of 20 cm interval ) detonation tube was measured using load cell. Schelkin spiral was used an accelera...

In this study, Stability analysis of snow slab which is under detonation has developed in the present model. The model has been studied by using the basic concepts of non-detonation model and concepts of underwater explosions with appropriate modifications to the present studies. The studies have also been extended to account the effect of critical length variations at the time of detonation an...

The chemical-gas dynamic mechanisms behind the instability and failure of a onedimensional pulsating detonation wave driven by a three-step chain-branching reaction are revealed by direct numerical simulation. Two types of pulsating instability observed experimentally are explained. The first involves regular oscillations of the detonation front, where the instability is driven by low-frequency...

Composition B is a melt-castable explosive consisting of RDX crystals in a TNT matrix. At elevated temperatures, the TNT can flow or even melt, which affects the particle distribution and therefore the detonation propagation. To study this phenomenon, rate stick experiments were conducted at ambient conditions, at temperatures below the TNT melt, and at temperatures above the TNT melt. We field...

In this study, supersonic gaseous detonation initiation and propagation by single- symmetric-jets are compared, the effects of different intensities on further investigated to obtain a more comprehensive understanding mechanism hot jet in mixtures. The two-dimensional reactive Navier–Stokes equations, together with one-step Arrhenius chemistry model, adopted analyze flow field structure. result...

The results of experimental studies during which transition to detonation events occurred are presented. These observations and their interpretation are then discussed, and the conditions for the onset of detonation are described, with particular attention paid to the nature of the phenomena of deflagration-to-detonation transition. The resulting implications for predicting detonation evolution...

An experimental study on pulse detonation engine (PDE) is conducted using hydrogen/air mixtures. Several key issues for PDE development, including valve operation, injection, mixing, filling, cycle repetition, ignition timing, DDT distance and propagation of detonation/quasi-detonation, are investigated. The fuel and oxidizer are injected into PDE from opposite sidewall directions to be well mi...
