RDE.jl provides a solver for the rotating detonation engine (RDE) model equations presented in Koch et al. (2020):
- Multiple Discretization Methods: Supports both finite difference and pseudospectral methods for spatial discretization
- Flexible Parameter Control: Easy modification of system parameters and initial conditions
- Analysis Tools: Built-in functions for energy balance and chamber pressure calculations
You can install RDE.jl using Julia's built-in package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:
pkg> add https://github.com/KristianHolme/RDE.jlOr, you can use the Pkg API from the Julia REPL:
using Pkg
Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/KristianHolme/RDE.jl")using RDE
using GLMakie
# Create and solve a basic RDE problem
params = RDEParam()
rde_prob = RDEProblem(params)
solve_pde!(rde_prob)
plot_solution(rde_prob)reset_strategy = NShock(2)
prob = RDEProblem(params;reset_strategy)
solve_pde!(prob)
# Or use random shock initialization
reset_strategy = RandomShock()
params = RDEParam()
prob = RDEProblem(params;reset_strategy)# Calculate energy balance
energy = energy_balance(prob.sol.u, prob.params)
# Calculate chamber pressure
pressure = chamber_pressure(prob.sol.u, prob.params)
# Visualize results
using GLMakie
fig = Figure()
ax1 = Axis(fig[1, 1], xlabel="t", ylabel="Energy Balance")
ax2 = Axis(fig[2, 1], xlabel="t", ylabel="Chamber Pressure")
lines!(ax1, prob.sol.t, energy)
lines!(ax2, prob.sol.t, pressure)
