Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) have been studied widely to facilitate their employment in hypersonic propulsion, but the effects of continuous unsteady inflow have never been addressed so far. Thus, the present study investigates wedge-induced oblique detonations in unsteady flow via numerical simu...
