Numerical Investigation of Transverse-Jet-Assisted Initiation of Oblique Detonation Waves in a Combustor
Detonation initiation is a prerequisite to normal operations of an oblique detonation engine (ODE), and initiation-assistant measures are imperative in cases of initiation failure that occur in a length-limited combustor under wide-range flight conditions.This study numerically investigates the initiation characteristics of oblique detonation waves
