Wave rotor design focuses on understanding the complex behavior of rotating channels, which is challenging due to high rotational speeds. To investigate the influence of different working conditions on the unsteady process within the wave rotor combustor, a simplified 24-channel model was established to study both the unsteady flow and the wave dynamics. The calculations indicate that, for the current port position adopted and a rotor speed of 4000 rpm, backflow occurs at the inlet port for various inlet pressures. By analyzing the working sequence of the wave rotor combustor, it is found that the inlet port does not close in time when the pre-compression wave returns. This delay results in reflected expansion waves or compression waves moving within the channel, which affect a portion of the pressure gain, leading to a damped sinusoidal trend in the pressure profiles within the channel. The optimal pre-pressurization effect can be achieved at a rotor speed of 2000 rpm for the test conditions considered, and the total pressure gain achieved was 6.3%. By adding hot-jet ignition, it is found that the shock wave and flame interact at least five times in the current simulation. The shock–flame interaction can greatly accelerate the process of chemical reactions. After the fourth interaction, the shock wave achieved local coupling with the flame, forming a local high-pressure area of 4 bar, verifying the effectiveness of the wave rotor as a constant-volume supercharging device.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":775,"journal":{"name":"Shock Waves","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141256999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes the algorithms for a prediction model. We performed blast experiments to obtain data on animal auditory/vestibular dysfunction under different overpressures. Peak overpressure and positive phase duration of the blast wave were obtained by pressure measurements. The severity of auditory and vestibular dysfunction was established by the auditory brainstem response test, behavioral rating, and vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials tests. Test data were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and logistic regression analysis to obtain the overpressure limits for auditory/vestibular function and logistic regression curves for severity separately. The ROC curve analysis showed that the overpressure limit for the auditory function was 32.635 kPa and the vestibular function was 96.275 kPa. Logistic regression fitted curves illustrated the dose–response relationship between the coefficient <i>K</i>, normalized by peak overpressure and positive phase duration, and the risk probability of auditory and vestibular disfunction.

We found that blast severity and inter-blast interval were both integral in understanding non-injurious limits for blast exposure. With higher blast severity, the inter-blast interval needed to be extended to avoid deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP), a form of synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, blast exposures too close in time synergistically affected LTP negatively, producing a dose response with more exposures leading to greater deficits in LTP. Overall, even the lowest blast tested was capable of producing functional deficits under the appropriate conditions.
