Fuel and air injection handling system for a combustor of a rotating detonation engine
A fuel and air injection handling system for a rotating detonation engine is provided. The system includes a compressor configured to compress air received via a compressor inlet and configured to output the air that is compressed as swirling, compressed air through a compressor outlet. The system also includes an annular rotating detonation combustor fluidly coupled with the compressor outlet. The annular rotating detonation combustor has a detonation cavity that extends around an annular axis, the annular rotating detonation combustor configured to combust the compressed air from the compressor in detonations that rotate within the detonation cavity around the annular axis of the annular rotating detonation combustor. The annular rotating detonation combustor is fluidly and directly coupled with the compressor outlet.

Method and apparatus for the start-up and control of pulse combustors using selective injector operation
A system and method is disclosed for the start-up and control of pulsejet engines and this system includes an Electronic Fuel Injection (“EFI”) system that further includes one or more electrically controlled fuel injectors that can be selectively operated for start-up and control of such pulsejet engines. According to the system and method, the rate and/or pattern of fuel delivery to pulsejet engines can be varied not only by controlling the amount of time the fuel injectors are open versus closed to define a “duty cycle,” but also with the capability to selectively disable one or more fuel injectors in the programmed manner for start-up and control of such pulsejet engines.

Isolation section suppressing shock wave forward transmission structure for wave rotor combustor and wave rotor combustor
The present invention discloses an isolation section suppressing shock wave forward transmission structure for a wave rotor combustor and a wave rotor combustor, and belongs to the new concept field of unsteady combustion. The isolation section suppressing shock wave forward transmission structure for a wave rotor combustor includes a wave rotor and a gas inlet port, and the wave rotor is provided with several wave rotor channels. When the wave rotor rotates, the several wave rotor channels communicate with the isolation section sleeve sequentially through the fan-shaped hole. The present invention suppresses reflected shock waves by changing a flow blockage ratio and a shape of the pneumatic valve to consume back transmission pressure, which is beneficial to a fuel intake process, so that steady working of the wave rotor combustor in a state of deviating from a design point can be implemented.
