Abstract: A Brayton cycle engine including an inner wall assembly defining a detonation combustion region upstream thereof extended from a longitudinal wall into a gas flowpath. An actuator adjusts a depth of the detonation combustion region into the gas flowpath. A method for operating the engine includes flowing an oxidizer through the gas flowpath; capturing a portion of the flow of oxidizer via the inner wall; flowing a first flow of fuel to the captured flow of oxidizer; producing a rotating detonation gases via a mixture of the first flow of fuel and the captured flow of oxidizer; flowing at least a portion of the detonation gases downstream to mix with the flow of oxidizer; flowing a second flow of fuel to the mixture of detonation gases and oxidizer; and burning the mixture of the second flow of fuel and the detonation gases/oxidizer mixture.

Abstract: A method and system of effervescent atomization of liquid fuel for a rotating detonation combustor (RDC) for a propulsion system is provided. The method includes flowing liquid fuel through a fuel injection port of a nozzle assembly of the RDC system; flowing a gas through the fuel injection port of the nozzle assembly volumetrically proportional to the liquid fuel; producing a gas-liquid fuel mixture at the fuel injection port by mixing the flow of gas and the flow of liquid fuel; flowing an oxidizer through a nozzle flowpath of the RDC system; producing an oxidizer-gas-liquid fuel mixture by mixing the gas-liquid fuel mixture and the flow of oxidizer within the nozzle flowpath; and igniting the oxidizer-gas-liquid fuel mixture within a combustion chamber of the RDC system.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotating detonation combustion system for a propulsion system including a plurality of combustors in adjacent arrangement along the circumferential direction. Each combustor defines a combustor centerline extended through each combustor, and each combustor comprises an outer wall defining a combustion chamber and a combustion inlet. Each combustion chamber is defined by an annular gap and a combustion chamber length together defining a volume of each combustion chamber. Each combustor defines a plurality of nozzle assemblies each disposed at the combustion inlet in adjacent arrangement around each combustor centerline. Each nozzle assembly defines a nozzle wall extended along a lengthwise direction, a nozzle inlet, a nozzle outlet, and a throat therebetween, and each nozzle assembly defines a converging-diverging nozzle. A first array of combustors defines a first volume and a second array of combustors defines a second volume different from the first volume.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section in fore-to-aft serial flow arrangement and defines an engine centerline. The combustor section includes a combustor liner at least partially defining a combustor chamber and a dome wall, coupled to the combustor liner, and defining a forward end of the combustion chamber. A fuel nozzle is located on the dome wall and fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber. A first set of compressed air openings emit compressed air into the combustion chamber along a first flow path and a second set of compressed air openings emit compressed air into the combustion chamber along a second flow path. The first and second flow paths intersect at an intersection point to form a sheet of air.

Abstract: A coupling assembly for a turbine engine. The coupling assembly includes a cold side component, a hot side component, and a fastening mechanism. The cold side component and the hot side component together at least partially form a combustion chamber. The fastening mechanism couples the hot side component to the cold side component. The fastening mechanism includes a stud disposed through the cold side component and a cap positioned on the stud. The cap defines a hollow interior and includes one or more first cap cooling holes. The one or more first cap cooling holes operably direct cooling air into the hollow interior such that the hollow interior provides a cushion of air between the combustion chamber and the stud.

Abstract: A combustion system for a vehicle having an engine includes a hydrogen fuel system having a fuel source providing a hydrogen fuel, a combustor operable to combust the hydrogen fuel to generate combustion gases, and a fuel delivery assembly operable to deliver the hydrogen fuel from the fuel source to the combustor. A first control system has a first update rate and is operable to control one or more operational aspects of the turbine engine. A second control system is in communication with the first control system and the hydrogen fuel system and has a second update rate faster than the first update rate. The second control system is operable to monitor at least one parameter associated with the hydrogen fuel system and output at least one control signal to the hydrogen fuel system to control the delivery or the combustion of the hydrogen fuel.
