Conclusions--1-D Solutions with 2-D B.C.’s

• End Correction Gives Modified Length

• End Correction Increases Isp by ~ 3%

  • Effects of Periodicity Not Included

• Scaling for End Correction

  • - Tube Length / Diameter - Initiation Length
  • - Pressure before Detonation - External Pressure

• Isolated Tube Is Not Realistic

• High Initial Pressure

  • Exit Choked through Much of Cycle

• One-D Results Give Good Approximation
