Computational Methods for Optimizing Rotating Detonation Combustor (RDC) to Integrate with Gas Turbine
… a constant pressure cycle (or Brayton cycle). A rotating detonation combustor (RDC) is a type of PGC system, which is thermodynamically more efficient than the conventional gas turbine combustor. One of the main aspects of the detonation process is the rapid burning of the fuel-oxidizer mixture, …

Influence of Fuel Inhomogeneity and Stratification Length Scales on Detonation Wave Propagation in a Rotating Detonation Combustor (RDC)
The detonation-based engine has the key advantage of increased thermodynamic efficiency over the traditional constant pressure combustor. These detonation-based engines are also known as Pressure Gain Combustion systems (PGC) and Rotating Detonation Combustor (RDC) is a form of PGC, in which the …

On the Challenges of integrating a Rotating Detonation Combustor with an Industrial Gas Turbine and important design considerations for Row-1 Blades
… the constant-pressure Brayton Cycle has made detonation combustors, a type of PGC, an attractive alternative to traditional deflagration-type combustors. Since Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDC) can provide a quasi-steady mode of operation when compared to Pulse Detonation Combustors (PDC), …
