Abstract: A rotating detonation combustion system is generally provided. The rotating detonation combustion system includes an outer wall, an upstream wall, and a radial wall. The outer wall is defined circumferentially around a combustor centerline extended along a lengthwise direction. The outer wall defines a first radius portion generally upstream along the outer wall. A second radius portion is defined generally downstream along the outer wall and a transition portion is defined between the first and second radius portions. The first radius portion defines a first radius greater than a second radius at the second radius portion. The transition portion defines a generally decreasing radius from the first radius portion to the second radius portion. The upstream wall is defined circumferentially around the combustor centerline and is extended along the lengthwise direction and inward radially of the first radius portion of the outer wall. An oxidizer passage is defined within the upstream wall. A combustion chamber is defined downstream of the upstream wall and radially inward of the outer wall. The radial wall is coupled to the outer wall and the upstream wall. A fluid injection opening is defined through at least one of the radial wall or the outer wall adjacent to the combustion chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to turbine engine components having multiple controlled metallic grain orientations. In general, the primary grain orientation is aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the turbine engine component while the secondary grain orientation is aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. Such controlled grain orientations provide the blades and vanes with increased strength to withstand the thermal-mechanical stresses of the turbine operation. The disclosure also relates to turbines having these fortified components, and methods of manufacturing the components.

Abstract: A motor driven propulsor of an aircraft includes magnets disposed in fan shrouds of fan blades connected with a fan hub, a stator having individual conductive coils in a nacelle located radially outside of the fan hub, and a distributed inverter assembly having several inverter power stages and gate drivers, each of the inverter power stages coupled with a separate gate driver of the gate drivers and a separate coil of the coils in the stator. Each of the gate drivers is configured to individually control supply of direct current to the corresponding inverter power stage. Each of the inverter power stages is configured to convert the direct current supplied to the inverter power stage to an alternating current that is supplied to the corresponding coil in the stator to rotate the magnets and the fan blades around a center line of the fan hub for propelling the aircraft.

Abstract: A rotating detonation combustor includes an annular combustion passage that is non-circular. Specifically, the present rotating detonation combustor includes a forward wall, a radially inner wall, and a radially outer wall. The radially inner wall and the radially outer wall extend downstream from the forward wall around a longitudinal axis of the combustor, thus defining an annular passage between the radially inner wall and the radially outer wall. An air inlet and a fuel inlet are disposed proximate to the forward wall and in fluid communication with the annular passage. The cross-section of the annular passage, which can be elliptical or polygonal, is defined by arcuate and/or straight sides of the inner and outer walls.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine combustor includes a dome plate, an inner liner, and an outer liner. The inner liner and the outer liner are separately coupled to a rear side of the dome plate and both extend rearward therefrom. The outer and inner liners define an annular combustion chamber therebetween that extends rearward from the dome plate. At least one of the outer liner or the dome plate includes an igniter cavity formed therein that is separated from the combustion chamber by a partition wall. The partition wall defines one or more transfer holes therethrough that fluidly connect the igniter cavity to the combustion chamber.

Abstract: An air-shielded fuel injection assembly for use in a combustion chamber of a turbine assembly. The air-shielded fuel injection assembly generally includes a fuel manifold including a plurality of fuel injection ports and an air manifold including a plurality of air injection ports. Each of the plurality of fuel injection ports is configured to introduce a fuel column into an annular cavity of a mixer assembly. Each of the plurality of air injection ports is configured to introduce an air curtain about an associated fuel injection column to minimize recirculation upstream of the fuel injection column and increase penetration of the fuel injection column into the cavity. Also disclosed are a mixer assembly and a turbine assembly including the air-shielded fuel injection assembly.
