Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Pressure Gain Combustion in a Rotating Detonation Engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the detonation structure, pressure gain, and thrust production in a rotating detonation engine (RDE) were studied using a combination of experimental and numerical approaches.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of Transient Response of Pressure Measurement Techniques with Application to Detonation Waves
TL;DR: In this paper, an unsteady calibration of the different probe configurations was performed to quantify the unstrainy response of the probe configurations to a single detonation in a detonation tube and the results showed that the ITP static pressure measured higher than the Kiel stagnation pressures both within the mixing chamber and at the exit of the ejector.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Propellant Plenum Dynamics in a Two-dimensional Rotating Detonation Experiment
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of Numerically Simulated and Experimentally Measured Performance of a Rotating Detonation Engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-two-dimensional, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of a rotating detonation engine (RDE) is described, which operates in the detonation frame of reference and utilizes a relatively coarse grid such that only the essential primary flow field structure is captured.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental Study of Performance Scaling in Rotating Detonation Engines Operated on Hydrogen and Gaseous Hydrocarbon Fuel
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the appropriate flow variables to facilitate comparison between geometries and the experimentally obtained specific impulses and specific thrusts, as well as an examination of stagnation pressure usage, through corrected thrust, is presented.
