The rotating detonation combustor is promising to be a total pressure gain combustor and
receives considerable attention in the past decade. Many studies have pointed out that the …

Experimentally measuring the pressure gain of a rotating detonation combustor through the
method of equivalent available pressure is prone to many experimental uncertainties. A …

The delivered pressure gain performance of most rotating detonation combustors can often
be directly associated with flow path area scheduling and how well the dynamic fuel …

One of the primary means of evaluating the total pressure ratio across a rotating detonation
engine/combustor requires measuring its gross thrust output. The presence of flat aft-facing …

ROTATING detonation engines/combustors (RDEs/RDCs) are attractive technologies for the
potential gain in thermodynamic efficiency. By nature of the continuously propagating …
