Multi-stage nozzle-shape optimization for pulsed hydrogen–air detonation combustor

Thermal engines based on pressure gain combustion offer new opportunities to generate thrust with enhanced efficiency and relatively simple machinery. The sudden expansion of detonation products from a single-opening tube yields thrust, although this is suboptimal. In this article, we present the co...
