Experimental study of cooling solution for rotating detonation combustors

open access: yes
Improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of paramount importance. One promising approach is the implementation of Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) technologies, among which the Rotating Detonation Combustor (RDC) has attracted significant attention. However, numerous challenges impede its integration into gas turbines, and the thermal management of ...

Rotating detonation combustors and their similarities to rocket instabilities

Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2019
Abstract Rotating detonation combustors (RDC) are at the forefront of pressure gain combustion (PGC) research, utilizing one or more azimuthally spinning detonation waves, an intrinsically unsteady process, to effect a stagnation pressure rise across the device. The prospective step-increase in efficiency, simplicity of design without the requirement

Rotating Detonations in Hollow and Flow-Through Combustors

AIAA Journal, 2023
This paper focuses on rotating detonation combustor (RDC) experiments involving two configurations, a hollow and flow-through RDC, using hydrogen–air and ethylene–air mixtures. Two air injection areas with gaps of 1.778 and 3.81 mm were used at different air mass flow rates of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 kg/s and equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 2 in 0.2 ...

Hollow Rotating Detonation Combustor

54th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2016
A continuous, azimuthally rotating, detonation wave propagating between the confines of a narrow annulus has been the essence of the Rotating Detonation Combustor (RDC) mechanics, till date. This research, however, focuses on the incipient RDC concept that utilizes a hollow combustor for the sustained rotating detonation, instead of the conventional ...

Longitudinal pulsed detonation instability in a rotating detonation combustor

Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 2016
Abstract The peculiar phenomenon of longitudinal pulsed detonation (LPD) in a rotating detonation combustor (RDC) is studied using hydrogen–air mixtures, by utilizing: (i) two air injection schemes having different inlet areas, and (ii) a convergent nozzle assembly with different spacers that affixes to the RDC exit.

Secondary shock wave in rotating detonation combustor

Aerospace Science and Technology, 2019
Abstract The secondary shock wave in rotating detonation combustor is studied by the combination of numerical simulation and experiments. Based on the pseudo-nozzle flow in the post-detonation zone, the influencing factors which cause the existence of secondary shock wave are clarified and then verified by experiments.

A hollow combustor that intensifies rotating detonation

Aerospace Science and Technology, 2019
Abstract Annular combustors are traditional, while hollow combustors without centerbodies are becoming popular for rotating detonation engines. Both schemes are studied experimentally in this paper to determine which combustor demonstrates a better detonation performance and pressure gain performance.

Starting Transients and Detonation Onset Behavior in a Rotating Detonation Combustor

54th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2016
The onset phase between combustor initiation and the appearance of a stable, periodic operating state is studied for four combustor conditions. The onset behavior and duration is assessed for varying air flow rate and equivalence ratio for cases with and without a converging nozzle at the combustor exit.

Stabilization mechanisms of longitudinal pulsations in rotating detonation combustors

Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2021
Abstract This work investigates the stabilization mechanisms of two types of longitudinal pulsations in rotating detonation combustors. The first type is linked to operating modes with two counter-rotating waves in combustors with open outlets and appears as a minor peak in the pressure spectrum. The second type is observed as pulsed operation of the
