Abstract
The problem of implementing the detonation mode of fuel combustion in thermal propulsion systems has been widely studied last decade. There are many works on fundamental and applied research on pulsating detonation. Solid propellant detonation engines can develop significant forces for a short time at low structural masses, and therefore they are ideal for auxiliary systems for the removal of separated rocket parts. In addition, detonation processes can be used to create control forces for correcting the trajectory of aircraft. All these facts determine the relevance of the area of work. For studying detonation installations, it is necessary to create test stands, but the design of test installations is an urgent and complex optimization problem. It is advisable to solve this problem with the help of computer simulation. In the existing experimental methods, for designing, it is necessary to determine in advance the geometric parameters of receivers and pipelines that provide the necessary gas consumption for firing tests of detonation rocket engines. The work is devoted to the development of a method for determining the flow characteristics of a receiver with a pipeline of complex configuration based on the constructed model of the stand. Based on the initial data, a computer simulation of the air leakage process from the receiver was carried out, for which the Solid Works software package was used. The places of pressure drop, maximum flow rate, and air mass flow are determined. The low value of the flow rate factor is due to the complex configuration of the pipeline with numerous bends and two bellows. Comparison of calculation results with experimental data was held. The difference between the experimental and calculated values does not exceed 3.6%. The obtained information is used to select the required value of the oxidizer excess coefficient during firing tests of detonation rocket engine models. Keywords: flow rate, gas leakage, receiver, model.
