Rotierende Detonationsverbrennung in Gasturbinen-Flugtriebwerken

One of the main challenges in the practical implementation of Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) into gas turbines is the lack of designs for turbomachines that can cope efficiently with the PGC exhaust gas. Although still a topic of active research, it is generally accepted that conventional turbine expanders interacting with the exhaust of pressure gain combustors will have lower isentropic efficiency, compared to their design operation. In this project, we are investigating the unsteady flow field exhausting from a rotating detonation combustor and try to develop a turbine design methodology specifically for this harsh inflow.
