Project SQUID. One Dimensionalized Aero-Thermodynamic Theory of Turbulent Flame Propagation in Flame Tubes

Abstract

A one-dimensional aero-thermodynamic theory of turbulent flame propagation in flame tubes is developed to provide data on combustion and flame parameters for use in the theoretical treatment of jet engines. General one-dimensional, aero-thermodynamical equations and methods for solving them are presented in forms suitable for use in connection with eddy-turbulent flame propagation in flame tubes. Solutions obtained by use of characteristics and finite differences are compared with explicit analytical solutions of approximating linear differential equations and show good agreement between the solution of typical cases.
