The effect of different muzzle velocity on the self-ignition performance, and the effect of opening the blockage at different times on the flow field stability of the combustion chamber and the flow field characteristics after the solid fuel ramjet stabilized were analyzed. The results show that the occurrence of self-ignition is not only related to the pressure, temperature in the combustion chamber, and the muzzle velocity, but also to the content of C_2H_4 and its degree of mixing with air in the combustion chamber. After the kinetic energy projectile gets out of the muzzle and before the blockage opens, there is oscillation occurring in the combustion chamber. The higher the muzzle velocity of the kinetic energy projectile, the more prone to the occurrence of the self-ignition and the negative effects can be avoided due to the pressure oscillation in the combustion chamber. The effect of opening the blockage at different times on the flow field stability after the self-ignition occurs in a period of time is weak. After the blockage opens, the solid fuel ramjet can reach a stable working condition quickly.展开更多
