Recently, with the development of detonation-based propulsion systems, scholars have
begun to study how to perform mode control on the rotating detonation combustor (RDC). It …

Abstract rotating direction of detonation waves is one of the essential characteristics of the
unsteady flow fields in the rotating detonation combustors (RDCs). However, it changes over …

In experimental studies, single-wave mode and two counter-rotating wave mode are often
observed in rotating detonation combustors. To investigate the mechanism behind different …

The detonation mode has a significant impact on the operational characteristics and
propulsion performance of the rotating detonation combustor (RDC). Controlling the …

Ethylene-air continuous rotating detonation (CRD) was achieved in the hollow chamber with
different fuel injection positions. As the injection position moved downstream, the …

In this study, we examine the spatio-temporal characteristics of dynamically dominant flow
features within a hydrogen-fueled rotating detonation engine (RDE) combustor. We utilized …

With economies shifting towards net-zero carbon emissions, there is an increased interest in
carbon-free energy carriers. Hydrogen is a potential carbon-free energy source. However, it …

Understanding complex flow-chemistry interactions in the combustors of deflagration-based
engines and detonation-based engines is essential to determine engine operability and …
