Abstract
In order to study the propagation characteristics of rotating detonation wave (RDW) of liquid fuel, an experimental study was carried out with liquid kerosene at room temperature as fuel and oxygen-enriched air with oxygen volume fraction of 38.5% as oxidant in this paper. RDW with equivalence ratio in the range of 0.65~0.9 was successfully obtained by controlling kerosene mass flow, and a detailed analysis of propagation characteristics of RDW was carried out. The results show that with the increase of equivalence ratio, the propagation state of RDW gradually changes from the premature flameout of discontinuous detonation to the complete operation of continuous detonation. The flow blockage of the injectors will further worsen the mixing effect under low equivalence ratio conditions, resulting in the discontinuous detonation phenomenon of repeated flameout-initiation process in the combustion chamber. In this study, almost all detonation waves operate in two-counter RDW mode, except that there is a single wave mode in a short period after flameout-initiation process.
