Influence Of Sizing On Rotating Detonation Combustor Performance
Abstract
The objective of this research is to verify the influence of a series of variables on the process of rotating detonation. Since in detonation the energy release rate is much higher than in deflagration, also engines utilizing detonation have higher thermodynamic efficiency, and they are easier to scaling as compared to conventional engines which use deflagrative combustion. This will results in increasing efficiency, more compact engine and better engine performance during atmospheric flight, due to application of aerospike nozzle. All this is giving strong motivation to apply detonative combustion to rocket engines.
