Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) -- Dynamics and Bifurcations

PAPER 1 Physical Review Paper: https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract... ArXiv link: https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.03116 PAPER 2 ArXiv link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.06655 This video details many of the spatio-temporal dynamics exhibited in rotating detonation rocket engines (RDEs), including combustion front interactions that behave like solitons. A complete bifurcation analysis of the dynamics is performed showing that our multi scale, dynamical model captures all the salient features of the combustion dynamics.
