Abstract
In order to research the operation synchronous of dual-tube pulse detonation engine, the operation performance and acoustic behavior of dual-tube pulse detonation engine under different fill fractions are studied experimentally. The results show that the instability of deflagration to detonation transition is the main reason for the non-synchronous work of the two tubes. With the increase of fill fraction, the detonation sound pressure increases gradually. In the region near the tube exit, the pressure and velocity of the shock wave attenuate rapidly, and the attenuation speed gradually slows down while the propagation distance increases. The time interval of detonation waves arriving at the tube exit of the two tubes can significantly affect the peak sound pressure and the duration of the sound wave outside the tube. With the increase of time interval, the peak sound pressure decreases and the total duration as well as the duration of the positive pressure increase. The synchronization of the working process of the dual-tube pulse detonation engine can be diagnosed by analyzing the pressure and duration of the sound wave outside the tube. The research results in this paper have certain reference significance for improving the synchronous of multi-tube pulse detonation engine and will be useful for the application of multi-tube pulse detonation engine in aircraft power system.Keywords
