Detonation Physics

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

Constant volume, or detonative, combustion is capable of extracting more energy than constant pressure, or deflagrative, combustion, thereby increasing energy conversion system performance. Rocket propulsion devices, such as rotating detonation rocket engines (RDRE), could potentially utilize a geometrically constrained train of detonation waves transverse to propellant injection in order to realize a more efficient energy extraction scheme. Detonation wave time separation over a single injector has been measured to vary between...

Grantor Contact InformationWilliam Anthony Hargus, Phone: 661.275.6799Grantor Emailwilliam.hargus@us.af.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
