Abstract:

In this paper experimental research on rotating detonation carried out at the Institute of Aviation (IA) in Warsaw are presented. Research was focused on 3-D numerical simulations of detonation propagation in cylindrical chambers and on evaluation of conditions at which rotating detonation is propagating in cylindrical channels for kerosene-hydrogen-air mixtures. Conducted simulations are used for analysis of complex flow – detonation front interaction and for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of the outflow gases. Extensive research on continuously propagating rotating detonation in many different chambers and in different fuel-air mixtures were tested. On bases of conducted calculations, as well as results of experimental study, a few chamber were selected for tests with GTD-350 engine. It was shown that application of the continuously rotating detonation to GTD-350 engine can results with increased efficiency of the engine.
