INTENTIONAL COMBUSTION OSCILLATIONS IN PROPULSION SYSTEMS.
Abstract
The object of this research programme is to determine useful applications of oscillatory combustion. In particu lar the generation of MHD power is suggested by the high ionization obtained in a combustion wave. In the limit, a detonation wave releases all the energy of combustion in the 'oscillation' and maximum temperatures are obtained. If the wave is a travelling tangential mode, theoretical studies suggest that either strong isentropic waves or cyclic detonation waves may be formed. Calculations of the MHD power generation by such waves is presented. (Author)
