Engine With Rotating Detonation Combustion System

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.
