Pulse Detonation Propulsion

Abstract

The objective of theoretical, computational and experimental studies outlined in this lecture note was to evaluate the design principles and propulsion performance of prospective air-breathing engines operating on pulse detonations of realistic hydrocarbon fuels with a realistic technique of detonation initiation via deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT).
