Characteristics of unsteady combustion around hypersonic cylindrical projectiles
A series of simulations were carried out to reproduce unsteady combustion around the hypervelocity cylindrical projectiles. A simplified two-step chemical reaction model was used to handle the reactions behind the bow shock. The simulations were examined with various parameters, such as projectile speed, initial pressure, and projectile diameter, and the unsteady mode of the Large-Disturbance r...
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 Waves and Propulsion
The possibility of using a detonation wave as the key combustion system for supersonic propulsion is examined. A brief review of propagating detonations is provided first. This review emphasizes the unique and unstable nature of the coupling between reaction zone and shock waves that characterize detonations. The theory of idealized, steady, oblique detonation waves and their reaction zone stru...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Hypersonic Turbulent Flow about Segmented Projectiles
The flow structure about a segmented projectile in hypersonic turbulent flow has been studied. The Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations were solved numerically by application of the implicit monotonized scheme of second-order accuracy, the modified Newton's method, and the Christoffel-Schwarz grid-transformation technique. A strong interference effect has been found. The effect can be chara...
متن کاملDetonation waves induced by a confined wedge
An auto-ignition detonation phenomenon can be initiated by a wedge confined in a channel. A new, self-sustaining, normal detonation wave engine concept is proposed. The detonation processes were numerically modeled with a simplified two-dimensional wedged channel flow that was deemed to emulate a real three-dimensional configuration. The results showed that within certain ranges of incoming flo...
