| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Experiments and numerical simulations were conducted on detonation waves driven by millimeter-wave beams in the air. A 94 GHz high-power millimeter-wave oscillator gyrotron was utilized to observe high-speed propagation caused by microscopic plasma structures along the detonation wave, as well as local thermal non-equilibrium. Numerical simulations, incorporating the effects of microscopic structure and thermal non-equilibrium, have successfully predicted the thrust performance of Microwave Rocket under the ideal and partial air refilling conditions. Using these results, development of a real-scale Microwave Rocket and a demonstrative launch of it are anticipated.
