Özet
The paper presents the scope of theoretical and numerical studies conducted at ICARECNRS on the Continuous Detonation Wave Engine (CDWE). The last part is devoted to a comparative performance analysis of two ideal engines fed with gaseous H2 and O2: conventional rocket engine (CRE) and continuous detonation wave rocket engine (CDWRE). Flow parameters in main cross sections and the engine performance are evaluated using a global 0D approach with a detailed thermochemical model of equilibrium combustion products. Performance results are obtained in wide rages of mixture ratio, injection pressure, and nozzle exit pressure. It is shown that the CDWRE has an important advantage over the CRE in terms of cycle work and specific impulse. © 2011 by CNRS and MBDA France.
