Abstract:In order to investigate the influence of different obstacle structures on the initiation process of a sector pulse detonation combustor, numerical simulations of the initiation processes in the middle cross-section of the sector pulse detonation combustor with three types of typical orifice plate obstacles were carried out, and the influences of the type, blockage ratio, and spacing of the obstacles on the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) distance of the sector pulse detonation combustor were studied. The results show that the obstruction blockage ratio has the greatest influence on DDT distance, and the higher the blockage ratio, the shorter the DDT distance within the blockage ratio range of 0.35~0.70. Among the three types of obstacles, the obstacles with a swept-forward triangle section have the best effect on shortening DDT distance at a low blockage ratio and those with a swept-back triangle section have the best effect on shortening DDT distance in the case of high blockage ratio. Among the three spacings, the DDT distances have little difference when the obstacle spacings are 1 and 1.2 times the equivalent diameter of the detonation combustor, and both of them are shorter than the DDT distance when the obstacle spacing is 0.8 times the equivalent diameter of detonation combustor.
