<p>A pulse detonation combustor (10) includes at least one plenum (24) located along the length of the pulse detonation combustor. The plenum (24) can be located: 1) proximate an air valve (12); 2) between a fuel injection port (18) and an ignition source (20); 3) downstream of both the fuel injection port and the ignition source; and 4) proximate an exit nozzle (14) of the pulse detonation combustor. In addition, the pulse detonation combustor (10) can have multiple plenums (24), for example, proximate the air valve and proximate the exit nozzle. The location and dimensions of the plenum (24) can be selectively adjusted to control mechanical loading on the wall, the velocity of fluid flowing within the combustor, and the pressure generated by the pulse detonation combustor.</p> |
