TL;DR: In this article, rotating detonation engines are compared to pulsed detonation engine and they are shown to produce thrust with fuel efficiencies similar to those associated with pulsed engines while operating on gaseous hydrocarbon fuels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotating detonation engine is experimentally tested with various nozzle configurations for the purpose of measuring the propulsive performance of these devices in terms of thrust and specific impulse.

TL;DR: In this article, the conventional ZND theory is modified with two-dimensional velocity vectors to account for the performance and steady-state flow features of a rotating detonation engine, and the developed analytical model explains many of the steadystate features of the rotating detonations and its thermodynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and numerical study is performed to understand how a rotating detonation wave evolves when the channel width is increased, and it is shown that the detonation front on the inner wall moves ahead of that on the outer wall and causes an inclination to the explosion wave between the walls.
