Abstract

The transition structures and wave stabilization features of the wedge-induced oblique detonation wave (ODW) affect the combustion of the hypersonic air-breathing detonation engine, which is associated with the inhomogeneity of the inflow mixture. This study numerically investigates the influence of...
