Abstract:
A comprehensive numerical and experimental study of continuous spin detonation of a hydrogen-oxygen mixture in annular combustors with the components supplied through injectors is performed. In an annular combustor 4 cm in diameter, burning of a hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture in the regime of continuous spin detonation is obtained. The flow structure is considered for varied flow rates of the components of the mixture and the combustor length and shape. The dynamics of the transverse detonation wave is numerically studied in a two-dimensional unsteady statement of the problem with the geometric parameters of the combustors consistent with experimental ones. A comparison with experiments reveals reasonable agreement in terms of the detonation velocity and pressure in the combustor. The calculated size and shape of detonation fronts are substantially different from the experimental data.
