The invention discloses a rotating
detonation afterburner based on centrifugal
nozzle discrete injection, and belongs to the technical field of
detonation propulsion. The
combustion chamber comprises a gas collecting cavity, an injection unit, a centrifugal
nozzle, an outer ring and an inner column, wherein an annular
detonation combustion chamber is formed between the inner wall surface of the outer ring and the outer wall surface of the inner column. The centrifugal nozzles are uniformly arranged at the intersection of the gas collection cavity and the injection unit in the circumferential direction to realize primary atomization of the
fuel oil; the air is accelerated by the injection unit from the air collection cavity and then is mixed with the atomized
fuel oil, secondary atomization is achieved, the particle size of liquid drops is remarkably reduced, and the fuel activity and mixing uniformity are improved. The injection unit adopts a Laval
nozzle profile, air is accelerated to
supersonic speed in the injection unit, and pressure of a
combustion chamber is prevented from being transmitted forwards. The rotary detonation engine is suitable for the high-temperature low-
oxygen environment, supports the annular
combustion chamber configuration and the empty cylinder
combustion chamber configuration, can achieve stable rotary detonation detonation and propagation of
liquid fuel and air, and provides
technical support for
engineering application of the rotary detonation engine.
