Numerical Simulation of Incompletely Premixed Oblique Detonation Stabilized on a Solid Surface

抄録

Oblique detonation under incompletely premixed conditions has not been well understood and is of great concern when difficulty of high-speed premixing in Oblique Detonation Wave Engine (ODWE), which is one of the most potential hypersonic aerospace propulsion systems, is taken into account. This study numerically investigated effects of fuel concentration gradients on oblique detonation and shock-induced combustion formed on a 28.20° wedge by solving two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism of hydrogen-air combustion. Oblique detonation with smooth-transition formed at a Mach number of 8.00, a static temperature of 300 K, and a static pressure of 8.50 kPa was referred as the completely premixed case. Fuel concentration gradients were described by the Gaussian function. At the maximum equivalence ratio of 2.00, Smooth-transition was replaced by abrupt-transition. When maximum equivalence ratio exceeded 3.00, a V-shaped flame front appeared with its leading edge located away from the wedge, which caused two separate triple-points to be observed. Second triple point appeared at the intersection of the incident shock or the detonation front and a reflected shock generated by compression waves on the lower side of the deflagration front. Increase of the front angle enabled intensive combustion to be maintained downstream of it.
