“…5a. This configuration is similar to the hollow projectiles used by Thibault et al [25] and Sasoh et al [26] in their ram accelerator studies. The test flow domain is 61 mm long, with a constant cross-sectional area region 12.7 mm high.…”

“…A fully transient quasi-one-dimensional model is form ulated for a supersonic moving duct w ith inlet and nozzle sections. This geom etry has the essential features of supersonic engines and the ram accelerator (effectively tu rn ed inside out), and its operating feasibility has been studied by an earlier 2D axisym m etric inviscid com putation (Thibault et al 1992). In the present study, the atten tio n is focused on the stability of the detonation front.…”

The stability of a detonation wave passing through opposed supersonic flow in a duct of varying cross section and with friction is studied numerically by a transient quasi-one-dimensional model, taking into account the unsteady motion of the duct and using a single-step Arrhenius reaction scheme. The analysis indicates that in a converging duct, that is, a nozzle raising the rate of area change drives a detonation wave towards instability, and adding roughness behind the shock front increases the detonation velocity and stabilizes the detonation wave. The stable detonation-wave configuration can be analysed by replacing the classical Chapman-Jouguet criterion with a generalized sonic choking condition based on the competition between area change, friction and heat release.
