Experimental Investigation Of Detonation Wave Propagation In A Supersonic Crossflow

Abstract

This work outlines the experimental study of detonation wave propagation from a linear extension of a rotating detonation engine channel into a supersonic crossflow. A 10in modular linear extension to the rotating detonation engine is coupled to study the effects of varying crossflow configurations for detonation propagation, particularly the interaction between the propagating detonation and a supersonic mixture. Detonation waves were provided though a linear channel at the steady operating frequency of an RDE. The channel, a linear extension of the RDE, was coupled orthogonally to a supersonic combustible flow. High speed schlieren imaging is utilized to characterize the detonation wave transfer from the RDE to the supersonic flow; and visualize the evolution of the wave through the mixture.
