ANNULAR COMBUSTION CHAMBER WITH CONTINUOUS DETONATION WAVE

An annular combustion chamber of the continuous detonation wave type enabling a mixture of a fuel and an oxidizer injected in an axial direction F to be used to deliver continuous production of hot gas from detonation waves, the combustion chamber including electrodes powered by an electricity generator and between which NRP electric discharges are generated, the combustion chamber including at the upstream ends of its outer and inner walls, a plurality of electrode pairs angularly distributed in two concentric rings, the electrodes of a pair each belonging to a different ring and being in radial alignment, and the electricity generator being configured to power at least one electrode pair to generate at least one discharge zone, and to power sequentially each of the electrode pairs following to the electrode pair and enable a detonation wave to travel around the annular combustion chamber.
