The application discloses a coaxial cylindrical
detonation driving device for a
shock tube / wind tunnel and a method thereof, which comprises a
detonation driving section, one end of the
detonation driving section being communicated with a driven section, the other end of the detonation driving section being connected with a blind plate, and a diaphragm being arranged between the detonation driving section and the driven section; the detonation driving section is inserted with a first
electrode and a second
electrode extending in a radial direction, and an ignition wire extending in an axial direction is electrically connected between the first
electrode and the second electrode; the application further comprises a
discharge system, the
discharge system comprising a high-
voltage capacitor, an
ignition switch and a unloading switch, an ignition circuit being formed by a positive electrode of the high-
voltage capacitor, the
ignition switch, the first electrode, the ignition wire, the second electrode and a negative electrode of the high-
voltage capacitor, an unloading circuit being formed by the positive electrode of the high-voltage capacitor, the unloading switch and the negative electrode of the high-voltage capacitor, and the ignition circuit and the unloading circuit being connected in parallel. In the application, detonation is replaced by
deflagration, and there is no pressure peak in detonation, so that the
combustion pressure can be 100% used for compressing test gas, and therefore the pressure of the test gas is improved.
