Liquid fuels are desirable in aerospace applications due to their higher energy density when compared to gaseous fuels. With the advent of detonation-based engines, it is necessary to characterize and analyze how liquid fuel interacts with detonation waves as well as shocks to ignite. While liquid fuel sprays have been proven to successfully aid and sustain detonations, the physical mechanism by which the individual liquid droplets accomplish this is yet to be understood. Such knowledge allows for more predictable detonation properties, which in turn can let detonation-based engines be sustained more easily. This research seeks to quantify and characterize interactions of liquid fuels with detonations and shocks, analyzing the breakup mechanism as well as the ignition of select fuels. Such effects will be characterized for several different mixture compositions as well as shock and detonation speeds. Primary analysis techniques include shadowgraph, Schlieren, and chemiluminescence imaging. Data on pressure will also be taken with pressure transducers to confirm shock and detonation properties. This research will further the progress of liquid fuel detonation-based engines by enabling more predictable and sustainable detonations.

The current work is concerned with studying processes for constructing reduced-order models capable of performing transonic aeroelastic stability analyses in the frequency domain based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The CFD calculations are based on the Euler equations, and the code uses a finite volume formulation for general unstructured grids. A centered spatial discretization with added artificial dissipation is used, and an explicit Runge-Kutta time marching method is employed. The dynamic system considered in the present work is a NACA 0012 airfoil-based typical section in the transonic regime. Unsteady calculations are performed for mode-by-mode and simultaneous excitation approaches, the latter defined by orthogonal Walsh functions. System identification techniques are employed to allow the splitting of the aerodynamic coefficient time histories into the contribution of each individual mode to the corresponding aerodynamic transfer functions. Generalized unsteady aerodynamic forces are approximated by a rational transfer function in the Laplace domain, in which nonlinear parameters are selected through a non-gradient optimization process. Different types of interpolating polynomials are tested and the results are compared. Results show that the proposed procedure can reproduce literature aeroelastic analysis data with a single unsteady CFD run.
