Abstract
A rotating detonation engine (RDE) combustion chamber was modeled in the work numerically using 3D geometry. The RDE is a new type of engines capable to create higher thrust than the traditional ones, which are based on the combustible mixture deflagration process. In the numerical experiment, different scenarios of the engine performance were obtained. The calculations were made at a compact super-computer APK-5 with a peak performance of 5.5 Tera Flops.
Highlights
The optimization of modern engines based on the traditional design is close to its technological limit
The engines performance may be increased only with the use of radically new technical solutions [1]. One of those solutions is the development of detonation engines; we deal with an engine with a rotating detonation [2]
A model combustion chamber of a ramjet detonation engine was treated as a test
Summary
The optimization of modern engines based on the traditional design is close to its technological limit. The engines performance may be increased only with the use of radically new technical solutions [1]. One of those solutions is the development of detonation engines; we deal with an engine with a rotating detonation [2]. The rotating detonation engine is being investigated extensively during the last decades; see works [3, 4]. The numerical modeling of the processes in a combustion chamber is an important stage in the investigation of its design and further usage. The problem should be solved using big computational resources, high precision approximation schemes, and effective parallelization methods: OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, etc. The current research uses the OpenMP version of the computer program
