Abstract
Abstract A Pulse Detonation Ramjet (PDR) performance evaluation model is established based on the component-based method. The influence law of working parameters of pulse detonation combustor (PDC), PDR geometry parameters, flight speed and altitude on the performance is analyzed. Results are as follows. (1) With the increase of the equivalent ratio, the PDR specific thrust first increases and then decreases, reaching a maximum value around 1.2, but the fuel specific impulse always decreases; (2) The change of inlet throat cross-sectional area has little effect on specific thrust and fuel specific impulse, but the increase of nozzle throat cross-sectional area will have a negative effect; (3) PDR specific thrust and fuel specific impulse increase first and then decrease with the increase of flight Mach number and altitude; (4) Compared with a ramjet engine, the advantage range of PDR can reach 18.04 %, but gradually decreases with the increase of Mach number.
