内容記述 | A predictive capability for conical oblique detonation waves (ODWs) is discussed with particular attention given to the special case of an axisymmetric conical projectile, which yields necessary conditions for attached waves. A multidimensional numerical model was used to study the influence of a finite Damkoehler number (Da) and viscosity on the formation of a conical ODW. The ODW is predicted for Da on the order of 10, and is found to be important in the ODW formation. For a Da of 1, shock induced combustion is predicted. Simulations of the experimental geometry showed general agreement with experimental flow features, but underpredicted the shock angle. It is suggested that this difference may be caused by inadequate boundary layer resolution, lack of grid orthogonality at the cone surface, and an inappropriate chemical mechanism. |
