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 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.

Abstract: A cavity stabilized detonation combustor assembly for a rotating detonation engine includes opposing inner and outer walls that are radially spaced apart from each other and that both extend around a center axis of the rotating detonation engine. Detonations in the rotating detonation engine rotate around the center axis of the rotating detonation engine. The assembly also includes opposing leading and trailing cavity walls that are coupled with the inner and outer walls and which radially extend away from the center axis, and an axial wall that is coupled with and connects the leading and trailing cavity walls with each other. The axial wall and the leading and trailing cavity walls define a detonation stabilizing cavity in which detonations of the rotating detonation engine occur and are stabilized.
