The invention provides a rotary
detonation combustion chamber adopting a pneumatic inner column. The rotary
detonation combustion chamber comprises an injection head part and a
combustion chamber body part. The injection head part comprises a
flow divider and an
injector shell, an annular oxidant
airflow channel is defined by the outer wall of the
flow divider and the
injector shell,
fuel injection holes are located in the downstream of a
throat of an oxidant
airflow channel, and fuel and an oxidant are mixed and then conduct rotary
detonation combustion on the outer side of the
combustion chamber body; and
inert gas or the oxidant enters the
combustion chamber body along the
airflow channel defined by the inner wall of the
flow divider, the pneumatic inner column flowing in the axial direction is generated, the central area of the
combustion chamber body is occupied, rotating detonation products are prevented from flowing towards the center, and losses generated when rotating detonation
waves expand towards the inner side are reduced. According to the rotary detonation combustion chamber adopting the pneumatic inner column provided by the invention, part of the rotating detonation products are prevented from being temporarily retained in the center area, the proportion of fresh
mixed gas participating in slow combustion is reduced, the
thermal cycle efficiency of the combustion chamber is improved, and meanwhile the pneumatic inner column does not need to be cooled. The rotary detonation combustion chamber can be applied to the technical field of rotary detonation propulsion.
