  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Detonation Control for Propulsion

Part of the book series: Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena ((SHOCKWAVE))

Abstract

Present paper focuses on the comprehensive survey of Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) and their research from the basic to the advanced level. In this paper, an abridged archival background of Pulse/Rotating Detonation Engine (PDE/RDE) is briefed. This is followed by a short description of a Continuous Spin Detonation (CSD) and a few essential facts from the prior publications. Furthermore, a summarization of the Continuous Detonation Wave Rocket Engine (CDWRE) concepts is examined. At long last, a detailed numerical investigation and experiment work of RDE is also presented.
