Abstract
Detonation waves are sel- propagated waves assisted by shock waves. Utilizing the detonation waves would rialize high-efficiency propulsion system. The pourpose of this project is to establish numerical analysy method for detonation characteristics obtained by experiments.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
This project needed supersonic combustion analysis code. The CHARIOT, supersonic combustion code developed my JAXA, is installed on JSS3. Also, JSS3 provides optimized enviloment for using the CHARIOT.
Achievements of the Year
1) As a basic analysis of detonation wave propagation, we analyzed the cell structure of detonation waves with an ethylene / oxygen mixture gas (Fig. 1). The cell width decreases with incrresing of the initial pressure ratio. We also compared dependence of mesh on the analysis results. From the obtained results, the grid width to be used for future analysis was determined.
2) Detonation wave propagation mode inside the linear combustor used for detailed study of the detonation wave structure inside the detonation engine combustor, premixed air (Fig. 2) and non-premixed air conditioner (Fig. 3). Was analyzed and the propagation characteristics were clarified.
