Evidence of Carbon Driven Detonation Waves within a Rotating Detonation Engine

An experimental study on gas-solid two-phase rotating detonation ramjet engine based on aluminum powder fuel

“…In recent years, both domestic and international scholars have conducted research on powdered detonation. Researchers such as Salvadori et al from the Georgia Institute of Technology [6] and Dunn et al from the University of Florida [7][8] , while conducting continuous rotating detonation combustion experiments with coal powder/H 2 /air mixtures, found that the addition of coal powder to the mixture can extend the operational range of Rotating Detonation Engine. Additionally, researchers from the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics, Bykovskii et al [9][10] , conducted experimental studies using coal powder as a fuel, investigating continuous rotating detonation combustion with coal powder/H 2 /air mixtures, and conducted comparative analyses of the rotational detonation combustion characteristics of different coal powder fuels.…”
