ROTARY EJECTOR ENHANCED PULSED DETONATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A rotary ejector enhanced wave rotor pulsed detonation (WRPDE) engine and method are provided. The rotary-ejector-WRPDE includes a housing, one or more inlet ports in the housing, and a rotor mounted within the housing. The rotor includes a plurality of shrouded forward combustion passages in which detonative combustion occurs. Each forward combustion passage has an inlet end for communication with the inlet port. The rotor also includes a plurality of rear combustion passages which are in gaseous communication with the forward combustion passages. The rotor further includes a plurality of transitional combustion passages which join the forward combustion passages to the rear combustion passages and communicate with a source of bypass gas to provide a rotary ejector.
