Rotating detonation in a ramjet engine three-dimensional modeling

A rotating detonation engine (RDE) combustion chamber fed by hydrogen–air mixtures of different composition was modeled numerically using 3D geometry. The RDE is a new type of engines capable to create higher thrust than the traditional ones based on the combustible mixture deflagration process. The dynamical process of combustion in the RDE is more than 100 times faster than that for the classical slow deflagration combustion mode. This type of...
