To the right, you can find my grant proposal, which details my background research, planned methodology, and overall planned project overview. This document is essential in highlighting what the process looked like in terms of narrowing my topic and developing a unique methodology to approach the issue of inhomogeneous fuel and oxidizer mixtures in rotating detonation engines. To learn more, scroll through my grant proposal and my project notes. The project notes document is a document which highlights each article I read and documented as a part of my project evolution. in the beginning of this project, I began broadly, reading general articles related to promising rocket propulsion systems. From there, my project timeline is clear through my gradual narrowing and selection of articles and patents which best fit my project focus.
The image above features the injection scheme which I developed through the course of this project. It is a modified triplet-axial injector scheme, iterated using density variance values to determine which changes affected the overall mixture homogeneity levels. This research was later reinforced using a comparison between the volume fraction of both the fuel and oxidizer at the chamber outlet to determine how much of each ratio of fuel and oxidizer travelled through the chamber. This process of evaluating homogeneity through a comparative, iterative lens allowed me to develop a novel injection scheme which produces a more homogeneous mixture than any of the currently existing tested models.
