A Numerical Investigation on the Influence of Engine Shape and Mixing Processes on Wave Engine Performance

Wave engines are a class of unsteady, air-breathing propulsion devices that use an intermittent combustion process to generate thrust. The inherently simple mechanical design of the wave engine allows for a relatively low cost per unit propulsion system, yet unsatisfactory overall performance has se...
