...The arevolutionarya air-breathing engine could lift an
aircraft from a runway to more than 30km (18.6 miles) into the
stratosphere and continuously accelerate it to 16 times the
speed of sound. The longest intercontinental flights would take
just one or two hours while consuming less fuel compared with
conventional jet engines.  
  
The engine blueprint was detailed in a peer-reviewed paper
published in the Chinese Journal of Propulsion Technology in
December by a team led by Zhang Yining with the Beijing Power
Machinery Institute.  

According to the
China research paper, the engine operates in two distinct
modes: below Mach 7 speed, it functions as a continuous
rotating detonation engine.

Air from the outside
mixes with fuel and is ignited, creating a shock wave that
propagates in an annular, or ring-shaped, chamber. The shock
wave ignites more fuel during rotation, providing a powerful
and continuous thrust for the aircraft.

Above Mach 7, the
shock wave stops rotating and focuses on a circular platform
at the engineas rear, maintaining thrust through a nearly
straight-line oblique detonation format, according to the
paper.

The fuel
auto-detonates as it reaches the rear platform because of the
very high speed of incoming air. Throughout its operation, the
engine relies on detonation as its primary driving force.

Zhang and his
colleagues did not disclose the efficiency of the engine in
their paper. However, based on previous scientific estimates,
the explosion of combustible gases can convert nearly 80 per
cent of chemical energy into kinetic energy. Conventional
turbofan engines, which rely on slow and gentle combustion,
achieve 20-30 per cent efficiencies.

In 2021, University
of Florida researchers also had a paper on ways to stabilize
the detonation needed for hypersonic propulsion by creating a
special hypersonic reaction chamber for jet engines. The
system could allow for air travel at speeds of Mach 6 to 17,
which is more than 4,600 to 13,000 miles per hour. The
technology harnesses the power of an oblique detonation wave,
which they formed by using an angled ramp inside the reaction
chamber to create a detonation-inducing shock wave for
propulsion. Unlike rotating detonation waves that spin,
oblique detonation waves are stationary and stabilized.

Publicly available
information indicates that the Beijing Power Machinery
Institute is Chinaas largest manufacturer of ramjet engines,
supplying propulsion systems for the countryas most advanced
weapons, including hypersonic missiles.

The PLAas 93160
unit, headquartered in Beijing and deeply involved in
designing the new detonation engine, remains shrouded in
secrecy with no publicly available information.

Zhangas team said
the new detonation engine transition was a challenge between
the two operating modes: as the speed approached Mach 7, the
rotating detonation mode became unsustainable, and the oblique
detonation mode had to be ignited within a short time.

The authors said
possible solutions to the problem include reducing the
incoming air speed from Mach 7 to Mach 4 or lower to allow the
fuel to heat sufficiently for auto-ignition.

Slight adjustments
to the engineas internal structure, such as the diameter of
the circular platform and the angle of the shock wave tilt,
could affect engine performance.

Overall, the engine
was not too demanding on operating conditions and could work
efficiently in most typical scenarios, they said.

However, the
researchers said that relying solely on the paper was not
sufficient to produce a practically usable product because
they had omitted critical parameters for engineering
applications, such as the limited space available for air flow
path...

The invention provides a combined detonation engine and a design
method, the combined detonation engine comprises an inner column
and a shell, an adjustable boss structure is arranged on the
inner column, the adjustable boss structure is composed of at
least two adjustable grading structures, the length of each
adjustable grading structure is sequentially increased in the
incoming flow direction, and in the rotating detonation
combustion mode, the length of the adjustable grading structures
is larger than that of the adjustable grading structures. The
inclination angles of the adjustable grading structures are
consistent, and the inclination angles of all the adjustable
grading structures are sequentially reduced in the incoming flow
direction in the inclined detonation combustion mode. A unique
design thought is adopted, so that the combined detonation
engine gives consideration to both a rotating detonation
combustion mode and an inclined detonation combustion mode.

**Technical field**

The invention relates to a combined
detonation engine and a design method, and belongs to the
technical field of detonation engines.

Background technique

As humans further explore the space
and space, it is an inevitable trend for future development
for aircraft to achieve faster speeds, achieve more functions,
and be used in more different fields.

However, the
development of aircraft in the direction of "large airspace
and wide speed domain" is restricted by the power system.

Although traditional
rocket engines can achieve full-speed flight, they need to
carry oxidizer, which greatly reduces the payload. For
traditional turbine engines and ramjet engines, the
combustion chamber is long, the engine size and structural
mass are large, which greatly increases the internal flow
channel. The loss of frictional resistance and the
difficulty of large-area thermal protection greatly weaken
the possibility of the aircraft flying to higher altitudes
and faster speeds.

There are two forms of combustion
waves in nature, namely slow combustion and detonation.

The more common one is
slow-ignition combustion. The propagation of flame depends
on the diffusion of mass and heat. The propagation speed is
generally several meters to tens of meters per second.

At present, most
aerospace power devices (turbine engines, ramjet engines)
use an isobaric mode based on slow combustion to organize
combustion. Detonation is a combustion method in which shock
waves are strongly coupled with chemical reactions and
propagate at supersonic speeds of the order of kilometers
per second. It can complete the release of fuel chemical
energy in a short time and space scale. It has the
characteristics of supersonic propagation,
self-pressurization and release. Features of fast heating
speed. Compared with isobaric combustion, the use of
detonation combustion can increase the thermal efficiency of
the power system cycle by more than 30% and reduce the fuel
consumption rate by more than 30%. It can greatly improve
the fuel economy of the engine and is more suitable for use
in air-breathing power efficient combustion organizations.
At present, power devices based on detonation combustion
mainly include pulse detonation engines, rotating detonation
engines, and oblique detonation engines. Among them,
rotating detonation engines have a wide range of working
capabilities from Ma2.5 to Ma6.5+ and a specific impulse
performance of Compared with traditional ramjet engines, it
can be increased by 30% to 50%, with continuous air intake
and compact structure. The oblique detonation engine has a
wide operating capability of Ma6.5~Ma15+. Its combustion
chamber has a low static temperature, leaving a larger
temperature difference space for the release of fuel
chemical energy. The engine can work in a wide range of
oil-gas ratio, and the thrust adjustment range is large, and
The small size of the oblique detonation engine combustion
chamber can effectively reduce friction loss and thermal
protection difficulty. In addition, due to the fast oblique
detonation combustion rate, it can stationary combustion in
hypersonic airflow, which provides a feasible way to realize
the air-breathing power operation process and improve
performance at higher Mach numbers. Judging from the current
oblique detonation engine combustion chamber configuration,
it mainly relies on binary physics oblique splitting to
induce oblique detonation waves. In addition, there is also
related research on the cone-induced "conical oblique
detonation wave", but it is still far from engineering
practice. Big gap.

For future aerospace
power, combined engines can significantly expand the working
range of traditional single-type engines, which is the
development trend of power systems.

The current aerospace
power combination schemes generally include parallel type
and series type. The two flow channels of the parallel
combination engine work independently and do not affect each
other. However, it has many problems such as heavy
structural weight and low engine thrust-to-weight ratio. For
structural design brought additional burden. For the series
combination engine, it can achieve mutual conversion of
multiple modes in one flow channel. However, since different
modes in the same flow channel are prone to mutual
influence, the design is extremely difficult. Taken
together, the current combined power solution has a complex
structure and is difficult to achieve ultra-wide-area
flight.

Detonation engines
based on detonation combustion are the future development
trend of aerospace power due to their high performance and
small size. However, there is currently no combined power
solution based entirely on detonation combustion for
ultra-wide-area flight.

The reason is, first of
all, the huge difference in the configuration of the
combustion chamber flow channels between the two: the
principle of the rotating detonation engine is that after
the explosive mixture formed by the fuel and the oxidizer is
detonated, a detonation wave is formed in the head of the
combustion chamber that rotates and propagates in the
circumferential direction. , so the combustion chamber of
the rotating detonation engine must be an axisymmetric
annular flow channel. The principle of the oblique
detonation engine is mainly that the supersonic combustible
mixture forms an oblique shock wave on the surface of the
detonator and induces combustion. Then the combustion wave
and the oblique shock wave quickly couple to form an oblique
detonation wave and settle in the high-speed airflow. At
present, most combustion chambers of oblique detonation
engines use binary oblique splitting to induce oblique
detonation waves. However, there has been no relevant
research on whether oblique detonation combustion can be
organized in the annular cavity and the oblique detonation
waves can be stationary. The complex differences in flow
channel structures have led to very slow progress in the
current research on combined power solutions based entirely
on high-efficiency detonation combustion. In addition,
detonation combustion is supersonic combustion with
extremely fast heat release rate. Different detonation
combustion forms are applicable to very different incoming
flow conditions. Under the "connection conditions"
(Ma6~Ma7), two kinds of detonation combustion are achieved.
Full coverage and successful conversion of modalities have
become a major difficulty. For rotational detonation, the
flight conditions of Ma6 to Ma7 correspond to high total
temperature, total pressure, and high inflow velocity. At
this time, the problem of self-sustained propagation of
rotational detonation waves will be encountered: the
propagation process of the detonation wave itself is
unstable. , its velocity will fluctuate periodically, and
due to the mixing of fuel and oxidizer and the uneven
supersonic flow, it may also cause unstable propagation of
detonation waves. For example, the number of wave heads and
propagation direction change during the propagation process,
the detonation wave is extinguished and Redetonation, etc.
(Feng Zixuan, Wang Aifeng, Yao Xuanyu, etc., Research
Progress of Detonation Engines [J], Gas Turbine Test and
Research, 2018, 31(04): 46-52). The high inflow velocity
will make it difficult for the inherently unstable
rotational detonation wave to propagate self-sustainably in
the annular cavity. For oblique detonation combustion, the
fundamental reason for oblique detonation propulsion is that
the high-speed incoming flow suppresses the uploading of the
detonation wave, while the existence of the wedge surface in
ordinary oblique detonation engines plays a role in
continuous ignition and flame stabilization (Teng Hong Hui,
Jiang Zonglin, Research progress on multi-wave structure and
stability of oblique detonation [J], Progress in Mechanics,
2020, 50(00): 50-92). The flight conditions of Ma6~Ma7 are
low Mach number conditions for oblique detonation,
corresponding to low inflow velocity and total inflow
temperature. After the intake air is compressed, the static
temperature before oblique detonation is low and it is
difficult to realize the detonation wave. Ignition and
detonation; the low incoming flow velocity causes the
chemically appropriate ratio of the flow velocity to be
smaller than the CJ velocity of the mixture at this time.
After detonation, the detonation wave will also propagate
forward without being able to settle (Miao Shikun, oblique
detonation shock wave in supersonic airflow Research on
structure and stationary characteristics[D]. National
University of Defense Technology, 2018). Therefore, in the
connecting working condition, the oblique detonation mode
will encounter the problem that the oblique detonation wave
is difficult to detonate and is difficult to settle.
Therefore, how to solve the transition and conversion of the
two combustion modes under connecting working conditions has
become the top priority of research work.

**Detailed ways**

The present invention
will be described in detail below with reference to specific
examples and drawings.

As shown in Figures 1
and 2, the present invention provides a combined detonation
engine, which includes an inner column 4 and an outer shell
5. An annular flow channel is formed between the inner
column 4 and the outer shell 5, including an intake passage,
a combustion chamber and a nozzle. As the flight Mach number
continues to increase, the combined detonation engine
realizes the transition between the rotating detonation
combustion mode and the oblique detonation combustion mode
by adjusting the annular flow channel.

The combustion mode of
the combined detonation engine of the present invention
includes a rotating detonation combustion mode and an
oblique detonation combustion mode.

The rotating detonation
combustion mode is shown in Figure 1. The annular flow
channel includes the intake passage 1, the rotating
detonation mode combustion chamber 2 and the nozzle 3.

The rotating detonation
mode combustion chamber 2 includes a fuel injection area 21,
an annular combustion chamber section 22 and a rotating
detonation nozzle throat front area 23.

The oblique detonation
combustion mode is shown in Figure 2. The annular flow
channel includes the inlet passage, the fuel injection area
21, and the oblique detonation fuel mixing section 22' (the
annular combustion chamber section 22 in the rotating
detonation combustion mode) and oblique detonation induced
detonation area 23a2 (oblique detonation mode combustion
chamber 2a2) and nozzle 3.

The present invention
realizes the conversion of combustion mode by adjusting the
structure of the rear section of the inner column and
adjusting the annular flow channel.

As shown in Figures 1,
2, and 3, the inner column includes a front rectifying cone,
a middle cylindrical structure 42, a rear adjustable boss
structure 43, and an end contraction structure 44.

The adjustable boss
structure 43 is composed of no less than two adjustable
hierarchical structures. The inclination angle of each
adjustable hierarchical structure is adjustable. Along the
direction of flow, the length of each adjustable
hierarchical structure increases sequentially. Each
adjustable hierarchical structure has It is a circular cone
structure.

Preferably, the
adjustable boss structure is 2 to 3 levels.

Further preferably, the
length of the first-level adjustable hierarchical structure
ranges from 0.05D to 0.15D, and the length of the last-level
adjustable hierarchical structure ranges from 0.3D to 0.5D.
D is the diameter of the cylindrical structure 42 in the
middle of the inner column.

As shown in Figure 4a,
in the rotating detonation combustion mode, the adjustable
boss structure 43 is a primary structure, that is, the
inclination angles of all the adjustable hierarchical
structures of the adjustable boss structure 43 are the same,
and the adjustable boss structure 43 It is a circular cone
structure, and a rotating detonation nozzle throat is formed
with the housing 5 at the end of the adjustable boss
structure 43.

In the transition stage
from the rotating detonation combustion mode to the oblique
detonation combustion mode, that is, the transition mode,
the adjustable boss structure transforms from a one-level
structure to a multi-level structure. The inclination angle
is adjusted, and along the direction of the incoming flow,
the inclination angle of each adjustable hierarchical
structure decreases successively.

Further preferably, in
the transition mode, the inclination angle range of the
first-stage adjustable hierarchical structure is 40A deg~50A deg,
the length range is 0.05D~0.15D, and the inclination angle
range of the last-stage adjustable boss structure is 25A deg~35
A deg, the length range is 0.3D~0.5D, and D is the diameter of
the cylindrical structure 42 in the middle of the inner
column.

In the oblique
detonation combustion mode, the adjustable boss structure is
a multi-stage structure. Along the direction of the incoming
flow, the length of each level of the adjustable
hierarchical structure increases and the inclination angle
decreases.

Preferably, the
inclination angle range of the first-stage adjustable
hierarchical structure is 30A deg-40A deg, and the length range is
0.05D-0.15D, and the inclination angle range of the
last-stage adjustable boss structure is 15A deg-30A deg, and the
length range is 0.3 Di1/20.5D.

The specific number of
stages, inclination angles of each stage, length, etc. of
the present invention are selected according to the
requirements for detonation and settling of the oblique
detonation wave in the annular combustion chamber.

Taking the two-stage
adjustable boss structure as an example, as shown in Figure
1, when the flight Mach number is between Ma2.5 and Ma6, the
engine is in the rotating detonation combustion mode, and
the adjustable boss structure 43 of the inner column serves
as a rotating The throat of the Rafal nozzle in the
detonation combustion chamber is a one-stage structure with
the same angle in both stages. The specific nozzle throat
size can refer to the traditional sub-fuel ramjet engine
nozzle design method.

As the flight Mach
number gradually increases to the second Mach number
(Ma6~Ma7), the engine is in the transition mode, and the
engine is in the "truncated cone-shaped" oblique detonation
combustion mode, and the adjustable boss structure serves as
the detonator for oblique detonation combustion. The
induction mechanism is an adjustable and variable structure.

As shown in Figure 2,
the adjustable boss structure 43 of the inner column is
composed of a first-level adjustable hierarchical structure
431 and a second-level adjustable hierarchical structure
432.

The 431 inclination
angle of the first-stage adjustable hierarchical structure
is increased, the 432 inclination angle of the second-stage
adjustable hierarchical structure is reduced, and the nozzle
expansion ratio is increased.

Preferably, the
inclination angle I+/-1 of the first-stage adjustable
hierarchical structure is 40A deg-50A deg, and the length L1 is
0.05-0.15D. Its design requires that it can accelerate the
detonation without causing the oblique detonation shock wave
to directly escape the body.

The second-stage
adjustable hierarchical structure adopts a boss with a
smaller angle and a longer length, which can re-maintain the
stationary oblique detonation wave that is slightly
detached.

The inclination angle
I+/-2 of the second-stage adjustable hierarchical structure is
25A deg~35A deg, and the length L2 is 0.3~0.5D. Its design requires
that it can maintain the detonation and stationary
detonation of the detonation wave.

When the flight Mach
number continues to increase to Ma7~Ma15, the engine is in
the oblique detonation combustion mode, as shown in Figure
2. Since the incoming flow velocity is high at this time,
the stationary interval of the oblique detonation wave is
large, so the two-stage The adjustable range of the
detonating device angle is also correspondingly larger.

Preferably, the
inclination angle range of the first-level adjustable
hierarchical structure is 30A deg-40A deg, and the inclination angle
range of the second-level adjustable boss structure is
15A deg-30A deg.

The rear section of the
inner column of the present invention adopts an adjustable
boss structure with different angles and lengths. In
different modes, the functions of the adjustable boss
structure are different. In the rotational detonation mode,
the adjustable boss structure serves as a rotating The
contraction section of the Rafal nozzle after the detonation
combustion chamber; in the oblique detonation mode, the
adjustable boss structure serves as an oblique detonation
wave-induced detonation device.

The present invention
proposes to adopt a "large angle + small angle" design in
the annular combustion chamber, and at the same time adjust
the fuel injection equivalence ratio in a timely manner,
which can realize the initiation and stationing of the
oblique detonation wave in the annular combustion chamber,
and achieve a multi-stage "truncated cone-shaped" oblique
detonation wave. The effect of detonation overcomes the
problem of oblique detonation combustion under transition
working conditions (Ma6~7) due to low static temperature and
low speed, making it difficult to detonate and settle.

The first-stage oblique
detonation detonation device uses a boss with a larger angle
and a shorter length, which can induce a stronger oblique
shock wave and significantly increase the temperature and
pressure behind the wave.

In the present
invention, the "truncated cone type" oblique detonation
refers to the oblique detonation induced by the boss in the
axisymmetric annular flow channel.

Further, the present
invention provides a driving mechanism (secondary level) as
shown in Figure 5, which is installed in the inner column.
Under the low Mach number of the connecting working
condition, the first driving mechanism (adjusting the
first-stage adjustable hierarchical structure) When it moves
backward, the second drive mechanism (which adjusts the
second-stage adjustable hierarchical structure) also moves
backward, but its translation amplitude is smaller than that
of the first drive mechanism, ensuring the formation of a
"large angle + small angle" detonator configuration. .

At the same time, the
third driving mechanism (adjusting the end contraction
structure) controls the degree of expansion of the nozzle.
When the third driving mechanism moves backward, the rear
part of the end contraction structure (corresponding to the
expansion of the flow channel) moves downward, allowing the
nozzle to expand even more. to meet the thrust requirements
of the aircraft.

The adjustable boss
structure is followed by a smooth transition end shrinkage
structure, which serves as the expanded inner wall surface
of the nozzle for the two modes. Its structure is a
well-known technology. It can adopt a pointed cone or
truncated cone structure as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The
specific design See also adjustable nozzle.

Those skilled in the
art can design the driving structure according to the actual
situation to realize the adjustment of the adjustable boss
structure and the end contraction structure of the present
invention, and are not limited to the structure shown in
Figure 5.

The middle section of
the inner column of the invention is a cylindrical
configuration with a fixed diameter. According to the flow
and thrust requirements of the aircraft, the range of the
diameter D [Dmin, Dmax] of the middle section of the inner
column of the engine is determined based on the rotational
detonation principle.

In order to be more
conducive to the detonation of oblique detonation waves,
using a larger inner column diameter can effectively shorten
the length of the induction zone of oblique detonation
waves, accelerate detonation, and achieve oblique detonation
wave detonation at a lower flow channel height.

Preferably, the present
invention selects [DZ, Dmax] within the inner diameter range
[Dmin, Dmax] as the diameter range of the middle cylindrical
structure of the inner column of the present invention,
where DZ>(Dmin+Dmax)/2.

Preferably, the height
of the annular cavity between the outer wall of the inner
column (middle cylindrical part) and the inner wall of the
housing does not exceed 0.5D.

The front part of the
inner column of the present invention has a rectifying cone
structure, and the front end of the casing is adjustable.
Through the adjustable front end of the casing, the intake
compression degree is adjusted to adapt to the two
combustion modes of rotational detonation and oblique
detonation.

The specific structure
is a well-known technology in the art, and please refer to
the prior art adjustable inlet and rectifying cone designs.

As shown in Figure 1,
in the rotating detonation combustion mode, the front
rectifier cone annular intake air, while the front end of
the housing can adjust the intake compression degree. After
being compressed by the intake compression section I, the
incoming flow enters the rotating detonation annular
combustion Chamber 2, at the same time, fuel is injected
from the head of the rotating detonation combustion chamber
(fuel injection area 21), and after mixing with air,
rotating detonation combustion is organized in the annular
cavity.

The combustion products
in the annular cavity are expanded and discharged through
the Rafal nozzle to generate thrust.

As shown in Figure 2,
in the oblique detonation combustion mode, the front air
intake and compression are the same as those in the rotating
detonation combustion mode. The degree of intake compression
is adjusted to adapt to the operation of the oblique
detonation engine.

After being compressed
by the intake compression section I, the incoming flow
enters the fuel injection area 21. At the same time, the
fuel is injected from the head of the oblique detonation
combustion chamber. In the oblique detonation fuel mixing
section 22' (annular cavity, that is, rotating detonation
combustion The annular combustion chamber section 22) in the
mode is fully mixed, and the detonation area 23' (oblique
detonation annular combustion chamber 2') is induced by
oblique detonation to detonate, generating a "truncated
cone-shaped" oblique detonation wave, and at the same time,
it is injected through the tail expansion The tube expands
to create thrust.

Further, as shown in
Figures 1 and 2, the fuel injection area 21 of the present
invention is provided at the head of the combustion chamber,
and a plurality of circumferential fuel injection inlets are
provided in the fuel injection area 21. The position and
length LP of the fuel injection area are and the fuel
injection inlet are designed based on the oblique detonation
principle.

configuration of the fuel injection inlet can be a small
support plate injection or a small cantilever beam injection
scheme to improve the penetration depth and uniformity of
fuel distribution after the fuel is injected close to the
annular outer wall. , so that the injected fuel and the
compressed air can be fully mixed in the annular channel.

Further preferably, in
order to better organize oblique detonation combustion, the
length LC of the oblique detonation fuel mixing section 22'
(annular combustion chamber section 22) used for fuel mixing
is between 5D and 10D.

As shown in Figure 6,
the simulation results of "truncated cone type" oblique
detonation under typical "connection conditions" (incoming
flow Ma6.5) are provided. The figure shows the pressure
contour distribution of a certain section. The simulation
results show that: two-stage detonation The device can
realize the detonation and stationing of oblique detonation
waves under "connected working conditions", which verifies
the feasibility of the invention.

Further, the present
invention provides a method for designing a combined
detonation engine. The combined detonation engine includes
an inner column and a casing. An annular flow channel is
formed between the inner column and the casing. As shown in
Figure 7, the design includes the following steps:

**Shell design.**

The casing is divided
into an inlet section, a combustion chamber section and a
nozzle section. The front end of the inlet section is
adjustable, and the compression amount is controlled
according to the Mach number and combustion mode. It is
designed using the design principle of the rotating
detonation engine casing, which is the best in this field.
Well-known technology.

**Inner column design.**

An adjustable boss
structure is set at the rear of the inner column, as shown
in Figure 3. The inner column includes a rectifying cone at
the front, a cylindrical structure in the middle, an
adjustable boss structure at the rear, and an end
contraction structure.

The front rectifying
cone, the middle cylindrical structure and the end
contraction structure are designed using the design
principle of the inner column of the rotating detonation
engine, which is a well-known technology in the field.

Furthermore, in this
step, in order to facilitate the detonation of the oblique
detonation wave, using a larger inner column diameter can
effectively shorten the length of the induction zone of the
oblique detonation wave, accelerate detonation, and achieve
oblique detonation shock wave detonation at a lower flow
channel height.

Preferably, the present
invention selects [DZ, Dmax] within the inner column
diameter range [Dmin, Dmax] as the diameter range of the
middle cylindrical structure of the inner column of the
present invention, where DZ>(Dmin+Dmax)/2 is the
preferred inner column diameter. Range minimum.

The range of the
diameter D of the middle section of the inner column [Dmin,
Dmax] is designed according to the flow and thrust
requirements of the aircraft and the design principle of the
inner column of the rotating detonation engine, which is a
well-known technology in the art.

More preferably, in
order to further facilitate the detonation of oblique
detonation waves, the length design of the middle
cylindrical structure in this step adopts a rotating
detonation inner column design principle that is different
from the existing technology.

The central cylindrical
structure includes a fuel injection area and an annular
combustion chamber section in the rotating detonation
combustion mode. In the oblique detonation combustion mode,
the annular combustion chamber section is converted into an
oblique detonation fuel mixing section.

Furthermore, at the
second Mach number, based on the oblique detonation
combustion chamber design principle, the position of the
fuel injection area and the injector setting and the length
of the oblique detonation fuel mixing section that satisfy
oblique detonation combustion are obtained.

Furthermore, the
terminal contraction structure is adjustable. By adjusting
the terminal contraction structure, the nozzle expansion
ratio is changed to meet the needs of detonation combustion.

The specific design can
be found in the design of the adjustable tail nozzle, which
is a well-known technology in the art.

The rear adjustable
boss structure design, the specific design includes the
following steps:

A1. Determine the
structure and series of the adjustable boss structure.

The adjustable boss
structure consists of no less than two adjustable
hierarchical structures. The inclination angle of each
adjustable hierarchical structure is adjustable. Along the
direction of the inflow, the length of each adjustable
hierarchical structure increases sequentially. Each
adjustable hierarchical structure is Round cone structure.

In the rotating
detonation combustion mode, the adjustable boss structure is
a primary structure, that is, the inclination angles of each
adjustable hierarchical structure are consistent, and a
rotating detonation nozzle throat is formed between the end
of the adjustable boss structure and the shell. In the
oblique detonation combustion mode, the adjustable boss
structure is a multi-stage structure, that is, the
inclination angles of each adjustable hierarchical structure
are different, and along the incoming flow direction, the
inclination angles of each adjustable hierarchical structure
decrease in sequence.

Preferably, the
adjustable boss structure in this step is 2 to 3 levels.

A2. Determine the
initial value of the length of the adjustable hierarchical
structure at each level.

The initial value of
the length of the adjustable hierarchical structure at each
level is initially determined to meet the requirement that
the length of each adjustable hierarchical structure
increases sequentially along the incoming flow direction.

The design is limited
by the total length of the inner column and the length of
the front rectifying cone, the middle cylindrical structure
and the end contraction structure.

Further preferably, the
initial value of the length of the adjustable hierarchical
structure at each level is set as follows: the initial value
range of the length of the first-level adjustable
hierarchical structure is 0.05D ~ 0.15D, and the initial
value range of the length of the last-level adjustable
hierarchical structure is 0.3 Di1/20.5D, the initial value of
the length of the intermediate stage is selected between the
first stage and the last stage, as long as it meets the
requirement that the length of each adjustable hierarchical
structure increases sequentially along the direction of the
inflow, where D is the middle part of the inner column The
diameter of the cylindrical structure.

A3. Determine the
initial value of the inclination angle of the adjustable
hierarchical structure at each level to meet the requirement
that the inclination angle of each adjustable hierarchical
structure decreases in sequence along the direction of the
incoming flow.

Further preferably, the
initial value of the inclination angle of the adjustable
hierarchical structure at each level is set as follows. The
initial value range of the inclination angle of the
first-level adjustable hierarchical structure is 40A deg~50A deg,
and the initial value range of the inclination angle of the
last-level adjustable boss structure is 25A deg. A degi1/235A deg, the
initial value of the inclination angle of the intermediate
stage is selected between the first stage and the last
stage, as long as it meets the requirement that the
inclination angle of each adjustable hierarchical structure
decreases in sequence along the direction of the incoming
flow.

A4. Under the second
Mach number, perform numerical simulation of oblique
detonation, optimize the inclination angle and length of the
adjustable hierarchical structure at each level, and obtain
the optimal length of the adjustable hierarchical structure
at each level and the optimal each level related to the Mach
number. Adjustable graded structure inclination.

In this step, the
inclination angles of the adjustable hierarchical structures
at each level obtained at the second Mach number are related
to the Mach number, and a series of inclination angle values
corresponding to different Mach numbers are obtained.

A5. According to the
length of the adjustable hierarchical structure at each
level, perform numerical simulation of rotational detonation
at the first Mach number to obtain the inclination angle of
the adjustable boss structure in the rotational detonation
combustion mode.

In this step, at the
first Mach number, the principle of rotating detonation
combustion is used to design the nozzle throat to determine
the inclination angle of the adjustable boss structure.

In this step, the
height of the nozzle throat at the first Mach number is
related to the Mach number, and what is obtained is the
inclination value of a series of adjustable boss structures
corresponding to different Mach numbers.

A6. At the third Mach
number, perform a numerical simulation of oblique detonation
to determine the inclination angles of the adjustable
hierarchical structures at each level related to the Mach
number in the oblique detonation combustion mode.

Furthermore, this step
performs oblique detonation numerical simulation to
determine the initial value of the inclination angle of each
adjustable hierarchical structure in the oblique detonation
combustion mode, so as to meet the requirement that the
inclination angle of each adjustable hierarchical structure
decreases in sequence along the incoming flow direction.

Further preferably, the
initial value of the inclination angle of each level of the
adjustable hierarchical structure in this step is set as
follows. The initial value range of the inclination angle of
the first-level adjustable hierarchical structure is 30A deg to
40A deg, and the initial value range of the inclination angle of
the last-level adjustable boss structure is. It is 15A deg~30A deg,
and the initial value of the inclination angle of the
intermediate stage is selected between the first stage and
the last stage, as long as it meets the requirement that the
inclination angle of each adjustable hierarchical structure
decreases in sequence along the direction of the incoming
flow.

In this step, the
inclination angle of the adjustable hierarchical structure
at each level at the third Mach number is related to the
Mach number, and a series of inclination angle values
corresponding to different Mach numbers are obtained.

Through the design of
the inner column in this step, not only the structural
parameters of the inner column structure are obtained, but
also the adjustable boss structure of the inner column under
different detonation modes and the adjustable boss structure
of the inner column during detonation mode conversion are
obtained. The change in inclination angle provides parameter
support for subsequent combined detonation engine operation.

In the present
invention, the first Mach number is the rotational
detonation working range, which generally refers to the
range between Ma2.5 and Ma6.5+ in this field.

The second Mach number
in this step is the "connection working condition", which
generally refers to Ma6~Ma7.

Furthermore, the third
Mach number is the oblique detonation operating range, which
generally refers to the range between Ma6.5 and Ma15+ in
this field.

Furthermore, the
present invention also provides a combined detonation engine
obtained by adopting the above design method.

The parts of the
present invention that are not described in detail are well
known to those skilled in the art.
