Nitrous Oxide/Ethanol Cylindrical Rotating Detonation Engine for Sounding Rocket Space Flight [PDF]
There are few experimental studies on rotating detonation engines (RDEs) with liquid propellants. This study reveals the static thrust performance of a cylindrical RDE with ethanol and liquid nitrous oxide as propellants under atmospheric pressure.

Characterization of Rotating Detonation Engine Exhaust Through Nozzle Guide Vanes [PDF]
A RDE has higher thermal efficiencies in comparison to its traditional gas turbine counterparts. Thus, as budgets decrease and fuel costs increase, RDEs have become a research focus for the United States Air Force.

Predictive Numerical Analysis on the Mixing Characteristics in a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE)
Detonation potential in rotating detonation engine (RDE) depends on well-mixed fuel and oxidizer in the annulus. A numerical study was carried out to analyze hydrogen (H2) . oxygen (O2) mixing in RDE prior to the detonation. A validation was effectively achieved by comparing the expected detonation criteria with the reported experimental results where ...

Design and Testing of an H2/O2 Predetonator for a Simulated Rotating Detonation Engine Channel [PDF]
A study is presented on the relationship between a pre-detonator and a detonation channel of an RDE. Testing was conducted on a straight narrow channel made of clear polycarbonate windows connected to an H2/O2 pre-detonator to simulate the RDE initiation
