A study has been made of the influence of the pulse-periodic 
supply of energy that is equal to the energy released in the combustion 
of hydrogen in air on the structure of supersonic flow in a channel 
of variable cross section, modeling the duct of a ramjet engine. The 
flow has been modeled on the basis of two-dimensional nonstationary 
gas-dynamic equations. Different flow regimes have been obtained depending 
on the configuration of the zones of energy supply and the excess-air 
coefficients.
