Abstract: A Brayton cycle engine and method for operation. The engine includes an inner wall assembly and an upstream wall assembly each extended from a longitudinal wall into a gas flowpath. An actuator adjusts a depth of the detonation combustion region into the gas flowpath between the inner wall assembly and the upstream wall assembly. The engine flows an oxidizer through the gas flowpath and the inner wall captures a portion of the oxidizer. The engine further adjusts the captured flow of oxidizer via the upstream wall and flows a first flow of fuel to the captured flow of oxidizer to produce rotating detonation gases. The engine flows the detonation gases downstream and to mix with the flow of oxidizer, and flows and burns a second flow of fuel to the detonation gases/oxidizer mixture to produce thrust.

Abstract: A combustor is configured to operate in a rotating detonation mode and a deflagration mode. The combustor includes a housing and at least one initiator. The housing defines at least one combustion chamber and is configured for a deflagration process to occur within the at least one combustion chamber during operation in the deflagration mode and a rotating detonation process to occur within the at least one combustion chamber during operation in the rotating detonation mode. The at least one initiator is configured to initiate the rotating detonation process within the at least one combustion chamber during operation in the rotating detonation mode and to initiate the deflagration process within the at least one combustion chamber during operation in the deflagration mode.

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: Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDCs)—or Rotating Detonation Engines (RDEs)—are special propulsion devices that generate thrust by burning a fuel-oxidizer mixture via a rotating detonation wave, rather than a traditional flame. RDCs may exhibit unwanted secondary acoustic disturbances that negatively affect their detonative operation. Suppressing such unwanted/secondary acoustic modes associated with the main detonation wave may be achieved by an acoustically absorptive lining mountable in the internal walls of a RDC.

Abstract: An injector for a gas turbine combustion chamber, includes a fluid feed system; an injector body extending along a longitudinal axis; an injection head arranged on the injector body and configured to spray the fluid in a direction that is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis; and an actuator configured to turn the injector selectively about the longitudinal axis so as to vary the direction in which the fluid is sprayed; wherein the actuator is configured to enable the orientation of the injector to be varied by turning about the longitudinal axis through an amplitude less than or equal to 90°.

Abstract: A wave rotor assembly includes a wave rotor combustor and an exit duct. The wave rotor combustor includes an aft plate formed to include an exit port and a rotor drum mounted for rotation relative to the aft plate. The rotor drum is formed to include a plurality of rotor passages arranged to align with the exit port during rotation of the rotor drum. The exit duct is coupled to the aft plate and defines a passage arranged to receive exhaust gasses flowing through the exit port.

Abstract: A Brayton cycle engine including a longitudinal wall extended along a lengthwise direction. The longitudinal wall defines a gas flowpath of the engine. A strut is extended through the gas flowpath between the longitudinal walls. An inner wall assembly is extended from the longitudinal wall and the strut into the gas flowpath. The inner wall assembly and strut together define a plurality of detonation combustion regions in the gas flowpath upstream of the inner wall assembly.

Abstract: A rotating detonation combustion (RDC) system including a detonation chamber wall extended along a longitudinal direction. The detonation chamber wall defines a detonation chamber radially in between the detonation chamber walls. The RDC system further includes a fuel-oxidizer nozzle defining a first convergent-divergent nozzle disposed upstream of the detonation chamber, and a gas nozzle defining a second convergent-divergent nozzle extended through the detonation chamber wall at least partially along the longitudinal direction. The gas nozzle provides a flow of gas into the detonation chamber at least partially co-directional to the detonation chamber wall.
