Abstract
To increase the jet momentum and improve the environmental adaptability, a combustion-driven SparkJet actuator with a Laval-configured outlet is proposed to improve the performance of the actuator. Numerical simulation results show that, compared to straight outlet combustion-driven actuators with outlet diameters of 2 mm and 2.8 mm, the maximum jet velocity of the Laval-configured actuator increases by approximately 100 m/s and 350 m/s, separately. while the peak times decrease by about 50% and 12%, respectively. The work frequency of the Laval-structured combustion-driven actuator is 1333 Hz, which is higher than the 1176 Hz of the straight-tube-structured combustion-driven actuator with an outlet diameter of 2 mm. The Laval configuration effectively improves the working performance of the actuator. As the equivalence ratio increases from 0.6 to 1, the actuator’s jet velocity increases by approximately 65 m/s and 311 m/s, respectively, and its maximum combustion temperature is raised from 2700 K to 3000 K. The saturation work frequency is nearly the same. The pressure and jet mass flow rate in the actuator drop as the atmospheric pressure declines, while the combustion-driven actuator still exhibits high working performance when the atmospheric pressure is low. The maximum outlet velocity, Mach number, pressure, and temperature increase by about 20%, 13%, 25%, and 6%, while the peak time increases by about 40% as the ignition position moves from the middle position to a 2.8 mm displacement toward the outlet.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
