Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PULSED DETONATION INJECTION FOR FLUID FLOW CONTROL OF INLETS, NOZZLES, AND LIFT FANS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003081013
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for altering a fluid flow includes a nozzle (228) having a fluid flow (202) and including a converging portion (230), a diverging portion (232) downstream of the converging portion (230), and a throat (234) coupling the converging portion (230) to the diverging portion (232), at least one port located in a wall of the nozzle (228) and angled with respect to the fluid flow (202), and at least one pulse detonation device (300) operable to inject a plurality of detonation waves (302) in a pulsed manner through the port and into the fluid flow (202). The pulsed detonation waves (302)operate to alter the fluid flow (202).
