A combustor was developed to operate with natural gas and air as the primary propellants at elevated chamber pressures and air preheat temperatures representative of land-based power generation gas turbine engines. Detonation dynamics were studied to…
A natural-gas-fueled rotating detonation engine was operated at flow conditions typical of gas turbine engines. High-speed broadband chemiluminescence images, particle image velocimetry (PIV), and dynamic pressure measurements were used to…
