This paper presents the propulsive performance evaluation for the H₂/Air Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) with a converging-diverging exhaust nozzle by the system-level modeling and multi-cycle numerical simulations. This study deals with the two-dimensional and axisymmetric compressible Euler equations with a detail chemical reaction model. First, single-shot propulsive performance of simplified-PDE, which is without exhaust nozzle, is evaluated to show the validity of the numerical and performance evaluation method. The influences of the initial conditions, ignition energy, grid resolution, and scale effects on the propulsive performance are studied with the multi-cycle simulations. The present results are compared with the results calculated by Ma et al. and Harris et al. and the difference between their results and the present simulations are approximately 2-3% because their chemical reactions use one-step model with one-γ model. The effects of the specific heat ratio should be estimated for various nozzle configurations and flight conditions.
