    摘要: A pulse detonation turbine engine (PDTE) includes at least one controllable multi-tube pulse detonation combustor (PDC) configured to initiate firing of one or more pulse detonation tubes in response to operation of a plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components to regulate PDTE output characteristics. A control system including a programmable controller directed by algorithmic software operates to generate control inputs for the plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components in response to PDTE input conditions, such that one or more PD tube controllable inputs can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC, and further such that detonation timing can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for modulating the thrust during a flight envelope of a multiple combustor chamber detonation engine using cross-combustor chamber detonation initiation are provided. The detonation combustor chambers are filled with a combustible mixture of fuel and oxidizer. The combustible mixture in one of the detonation combustor chambers is ignited by an ignition source, and the remaining detonation combustor chambers are ignited by detonation cross-firing via connectors. A controller controls the ignition source and the supply of oxidizer and fuel to the detonation combustor chambers to modulate the thrust of the engine during the flight envelope.

    摘要: A supersonic compressor rotor that includes a rotor disk that includes a substantially cylindrical endwall, a radially inner surface, and a radially outer surface. The endwall extends between the radially inner surface and the radially outer surface. A plurality of vanes are coupled to the endwall. The vanes extend outwardly from the endwall. Adjacent vanes form a pair and are spaced a circumferential distance apart such that a flow channel is defined between each pair of circumferentially-adjacent vanes. The flow channel extends generally radially between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A first supersonic compression ramp is coupled to the endwall. The first supersonic compression ramp is positioned within the flow channel to facilitate forming at least one compression wave within the flow channel.

    摘要: A supersonic compressor rotor that includes a rotor disk that includes a body that extends between a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface. A plurality of vanes are coupled to the body. The vanes extend outwardly from the rotor disk. Adjacent vanes form a pair and are oriented such that a flow channel is defined between each pair of adjacent vanes. The flow channel extends between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. At least one supersonic compression ramp is positioned within the flow channel. The supersonic compression ramp is configured to condition a fluid being channeled through the flow channel such that the fluid includes a first velocity at the inlet opening and a second velocity at the outlet opening. Each of the first velocity and the second velocity being supersonic with respect to said rotor disk surfaces.
