A technique for promoting detonation transmission from a confined tube into larger area for pulse detonation engine applications

A simple method of detonation transmission from a small tube to a large area is presented. This technique involves placing obstacles which create slight blockages at the exit of the confined tube before the planar detonation emerges into the larger space, thereby generating flow instability to promo...
