ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RAMJET IMPLEMENTING A CYCLE CLOSE TO THE CYCLE WITH DETONATIVE COMBUSTION
The paper presents the results of work on creating a detonation ramjet based on the simplest form of a jet engine - a valveless pulsejet. The seductive simplicity of the design of such engines conceals the complexity of its operation process. The authors achieve cyclic combustion modes close to detonation in the pulsejet. The possible mechanism of initiating the detonative combustion is discussed.
