Abstract: A flow conditioning system for a duct. The flow conditioning system includes a preconditioner that modifies upstream fluid flow that is maldistributed, providing predictable downstream flow to fluid flowing within the duct. The directional flow conditioner also includes a stationary flow geometry structure downstream of the preconditioner. The stationary flow geometry structure further conditions the upstream fluid flow from the preconditioner to provide a downstream flow with a substantially uniform flow profile. The flow conditioning system transforms upstream fluids having a maldistributed flow profile such as may be caused by a component, structure or obstruction within the duct to a substantially uniform flow profile downstream of the flow conditioning system within the available axial duct length so that the fluid may interact efficiently with equipment such as heat exchangers positioned within the duct downstream of the flow conditioning system.

Abstract: A high-speed, air-breathing propulsion engine includes an inlet configured to compress incoming air, a fuel injector configured to supply a fuel for mixing with the compressed incoming air to form a fuel-air mixture, and a combustor configured to burn the fuel-air mixture. The combustor includes a rotation detonation combustor system and a bluff body system that cooperate to generate thrust.
