Investigation of Thrust Augmentation and Acoustic Performance by Ejectors on PDE

Abstract: Thrust augmentation and acoustic performance of a Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) with ejector system is experimentally investigated. For these tests the L Ejector / D Ejector is varied from 1.18 to 4 and the axial placement of the ejector relative to the PDE exhaust is varied from an x/D PDE of −3 to 3. Results from the tests show that the optimum L Ejector /D Ejector based on thrust augmentation and Overall Sound Pressure Level (OASPL) is found to be 2.61. The divergent ejector performed the best based on thru… Show more

“…And the most obvious reduction effect was seen under the installation of annular nozzle #4. Here, a maximum attenuation of 1617 4. Pa was recorded at 10 m. It can be observed from Fig.6(c) that the peak sound pressure of the detonation sound wave at 60 • achieved an amplification of annular nozzles #2 and #4 but a reduction of the annular nozzle #3.…”

“…[3] The detonation sound wave is produced by the pressure pulsation of the medium caused by a series of complex waves such as shock waves outside the detonation tube and jet induced shock waves during the detonation process. [4] The preliminary research results show that the noise generated by manned aircraft with PDEs as the propulsion system is equivalent to the noise level of B-1B bombers. Therefore, when PDEs are employed as the propulsion system, the high-intensity noise and vibration generated during its operation will pose a serious threat to the aircraft's structural sonic fatigue, overall performance, and safety.…”

“…The results showed that the sound pressure level of HPDE is about 4 dB less than that of PDE, and that the impulse sound pressure level reduces about 2 dB. Xu et al [9][10][11][12][13] studied the formation and propagation process of PDE sound by combing the experimental method and numerical method. The results showed that the detonation peak noise is proportional to −3 power of the radial distance in near-field.…”

“…Its energy is mainly concentrated in the low frequency part, which is composed of the fundamental frequency and harmonic frequency of the airflow pulsation. Xu et al [9][10][11][12] studied the detonation acoustic of single-tube PDE, and analyzed the effects of nozzle, ejector and fill factor on the near-field acoustic characteristics of PDE. It is found that the PDE detonation noise is mainly composed of impact noise (which is produced by the shock waves) and jet noise (which is produced by the jet), and both the impact noise and the jet noise decrease as the distance increases.…”
