Using a detailed kinetic model of chemical interaction, numerical investigation of influence of a preliminary preparation of a stoichiometrical hydrogen-air mixture (decomposition of some volumes of molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen gases into atomic gases) on characteristics of a propagating detonation wave has been carried out. It has been obtained that the preliminary partial dissociation of the gas mixture results in an essential decrease of the detonation cell size and a small increase of the self-sustained detonation wave propagation velocity. Due to the established detonation combustion features, preliminary preparation of the mixture can be used to prevent destruction of a detonation wave in channels with both a single transverse barrier and a barrier domain.

Recently, the focus has been laid on the characteristics of pollutant emissions from pulse detonation combustion. Initial studies indicate possibly high nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions, so the assessment of potential primary reduction methods is advisable. The present work considers the following reduction methods: lean combustion, nitrogen and steam dilution as well as flue gas recirculation. Since such changes in the combustion mixture reduce its reactivity and thus detonability, they can impair a reliable operation in technical systems. In order to explore the potential and limitations of each of these reduction methods, they are compared for mixtures featuring an identical characteristic detonation cell size at given initial conditions. Furthermore, building upon the use of steam dilution, a modified method to add steam to the combustible mixture is investigated. In order to avoid the strong reduction of mixture detonability by steam addition and ensure a robust detonation formation, steam is injected into the already developed detonation front. It was found that, for sufficiently even steam distribution, NOx reduction comparable to a premixed dilution could be achieved. This approach enables the realization of NOx reduction in pulse detonation combustion also for such conditions, for which premix dilution is not feasible. Therefore, combining the premix dilution with post-shock injection offers a promising strategy to substantially reduce NOx emissions from pulse detonation combustion, while at the same time ensuring its reliable operation.
