Parallel adaptive simulation of rotating detonation engines

Civil-Comp Conferences, 2023
The rotating detonation engine is a promising realization of pressure gain combustion for propulsion and power generation systems. A rotating detonation engine running on ethylene-oxygen is simulated by using AMROC with a second-order accurate finite volume method and approximate Riemann solvers. Multi-step chemical kinetic mechanisms are employed with

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.
