Standing oblique detonation is a unique pressure-gain combustion phenomenon for
hypersonic ramjet propulsion, and its research has been related with supersonic combustion …

Hypersonic airbreathing propulsion is one of the top techniques for future aerospace flight,
but there are still no practical engines after seventy years' development. Two critical issues …

The shock wave focusing technique is beneficial to the development of detonation-based
engines, which can shorten the long run-up distance that is usually required for a …

The oblique detonation wave (ODW) triggered by a semi-infinite cowl or wedge has been
widely studied, but the effects of finite-length cowls require further clarification to enhance …

In this paper, detonation limits in stoichiometric methane-oxygen mixtures with varying tube
inner diameter and initial mixture pressure were investigated. Detonations in tubes with …

An understanding of oblique detonation waves (ODWs) has inherent research value for high-
speed compressible reacting flow and hypersonic propulsion. In this paper, the interactions …

Oblique detonations induced by two-dimensional, semi-infinite wedges are simulated by
solving numerically the reactive Euler equations with a two-step induction-reaction kinetic …

Although the morphology of oblique detonation waves (ODWs) has been widely studied, it
remains impossible to predict the wave systems in the initiation region, which is a critical …

Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) have been studied widely to facilitate their employment
in hypersonic propulsion, but the effects of continuous unsteady inflow have never been …
