Development of Dual-Fuel Rotating Detonation Chamber

The possibility of establishment of the continuously rotating detonation was first demonstrated in early sixties of last century by Voitsekhovskii at all for the oxy-acetylene mixture [1], but continuous detonative combustion for fuel-air mixtures was demonstrated only at the end of XX Century [2]. Later many research on rotating detonation were conducted for air mixtures with different gaseous fuels [3-7], but no conclusive results were reported for liquid fuels-air mixtures. Only recently research on establishment of the continuously rotating detonation for the mixture kerosene-air mixtures with addition of gaseous hydrogen were conducted at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) and at the Institute of Aviation (IoA) in Warsaw. In the paper development of continuously rotating detonation in cylindrical chambers in WUT and in IoA are described.
