Abstract:

Theoretical performance investigations have been undertaken for a number of wave-engine configurations using the techniques of the method of characteristics. The use of these nonsteady flow techniques permits a determination of intermittent engine performance parameters such as thrust per unit area, specific fuel consumption, compression efficiency and cycle time which are much more realistic than those obtained by the use of the conventional quasi-steady or steady-flow methods.
