This method is used to analyze the combustion and expansion processes of the fresh particles, and the thermodynamic cycle process of CRDE. In a 3D CRDE flow field, as the radius of the annulus increases, the no-injection area proportion increases, the non-detonation proportion decreases, and the detonation height decreases. The flow field parameters on the 3D mid annulus are different from in the 2D flow field under the same chamber size. The non-detonation proportion in the 3D flow field is less than in the 2D flow field. In the 2D and 3D CRDE, the paths of the flow particles have only a small fluctuation in the circumferential direction. The numerical thermodynamic cycle processes are qualitatively consistent with the three ideal cycle models, and they are right in between the ideal F–J cycle and ideal ZND cycle. The net mechanical work and thermal efficiency are slightly smaller in the 2D simulation than in the 3D simulation. In the 3D CRDE, as the radius of the annulus increases, the net mechanical work is almost constant, and the thermal efficiency increases. The numerical thermal efficiencies are larger than F–J cycle, and much smaller than ZND cycle.展开更多

This study systematically investigates the effects of F_(2)concentration and inlet mass flow rate on rotating detonation wave(RDW) propagation using two-dimensional numerical simulations, providing the first comprehensive analysis of F_(2)as an oxidizing additive in regulating detonation performance, propagation stability, and heat release dynamics in RDEs. The results indicate that when F_(2)concentration is below 1%, the flow field primarily exhibits a stable single-wave propagation mode. As F_(2)concentration increases, RDW performance initially improves but then deteriorates, reaching its optimal state at 0.8% F_(2). When F_(2)concentration exceeds 1%, the coupled effects of F_(2)concentration and inlet mass flow rate induce a transition from single-wave to multi-wave propagation modes. While a higher inlet mass flow rate promotes increased wave numbers, it also intensifies wave-wave interactions. With further increases in F_(2)concentration, the enhanced heat release leads to intensified local deflagration, frequent hotspot formation, and wave collisions, ultimately degrading RDW performance and destabilizing the multi-wave flow field. Moreover, excessive HF formation is identified as a critical driver of enhanced deflagration, hotspot generation,and the disruption of multi-wave stability. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for integrating F_(2)additives into H_(2)/Air-based RDE systems.展开更多
