Abstract
The feasibility of attaining a standing detonation wave configuration around a supersonic projectile has been studied numerically with a quasi-lD model. Instead of the classical CJ criterion, a generalized sonic choking condition has been obtained which includes the influence of area change. The transient internal flow including one-step Arrhenius kinetics is coupled with the unsteady motion of the projectile. The results indicate that the competing effects of area change and heat release drive a detonation in the supersonic moving nozzle to become more unstable.
