The feasibility of utilizing detonations for air-breathing propulsion is the subject of a significant research effort headed by the Office of Naval Research. Pulse Detonation Engines (PDE) have a theoretically greater efficiency than current combustion cycles. However, pulse detonation technology must mature beginning with research in the fundamental process of developing a detonation wave. This thesis explores various ignition conditions which minimize the deflagration-to- detonation transition distance (Xddt) of a single detonation wave in a gaseous mixture.Naval Postgraduate School Monterey CA is the author of 'Influence Of Ignition Energy, Ignition Location, And Stoichiometry On The Deflagration-To- Detonation Distance In A Pulse Detonation Engine' with ISBN 9781423536000 and ISBN 1423536002.
