摘要: 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.

摘要: 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.

摘要: 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.

摘要: An apparatus and method for a combustor, the combustor including combustor liner having a plurality of dilution openings. The combustor receives a flow of fuel that is ignited and mixed with dilution air to form a flow of combustion gases. The flow of combustion gases travels through the combustor to a turbine section of an engine.
