Evaluation and selection of an efficient fuel/air initiation strategy for pulse detonation engines

Rapid and efficient initiation of hydrocarbon/air mixtures has been identified as one of the critical and enabling technologies for Pulse Detonation Engines (PDEs). Although the NPS Rocket Propulsion Laboratory has successfully demonstrated fuel/air detonations in a valveless pulse detonation engine...
