Abstract: A pulse detonation combustor includes at least one plenum located along the length of the pulse detonation combustor. The plenum can be located: 1) proximate an air valve; 2) between a fuel injection port and an ignition source; 3) downstream of both the fuel injection port and the ignition source; and 4) proximate an exit nozzle of the pulse detonation combustor. In addition, the pulse detonation combustor can have multiple plenums, for example, proximate the air valve and proximate the exit nozzle. The location and dimensions of the plenum can be selectively adjusted to control mechanical loading on the wall, the velocity of fluid flowing within the combustor, and the pressure generated by the pulse detonation combustor.

Abstract: The flow through the core of a hybrid pulse detonation combustion system is passed through a compressor and then separated into a primary flow, that passes directly to the combustor, and a bypass flow, which is routed to a portion of the system to be used to cool components of the system. The bypass flow is routed to a nozzle of the pulse detonation combustor. The flow is then passed back into the primary flow through the core downstream of where it was extracted.

Abstract: A pulse detonation device for dividing a pulse detonation shock wave into an primary and control portion to reduce the strength of a propagating shock wave and/or change its direction. The device contains a flow separator which directs a portion of the shock wave into itself, thus reducing the shock wave's strength. In one configuration, the control region converges in cross-sectional area so as to accelerate the flow in the control region, while the primary region diverges to slow the flow in the primary region. The flow in the control region is directed, at an angle, into the flow of the primary region to impede and/or redirect the flow of the primary region.
