Numerical Study of Detonation Interaction with a Single-Stage Axial Turbine

Abstract

In the present paper, we examine a single two-dimensional detonation wave propagating in a single-stage axial flow turbine. The objective or this study is the computation of the detailed now field and estimating the turbine work output. Turbine extracted work for a single operation is evaluated by energy balance and mechanical approaches. Adiabatic efficiencies at the rotor obtained by energy balance predict 50 to 70% and shows good agreement with the efficiencies by mechanic.al approach, depending on the rotor speed.
