Abstract: An annular plenum is integrated downstream of six pulse detonation combustors arranged in a canannular configuration. The primary purpose of the plenum is the mitigation of pressure and velocity fluctuations, which is ...

Abstract: Pressure gain combustion is a promising concept to substantially increase the thermal efficiency of gas turbines. One possible implementation that has been frequently investigated is pulse detonation combustors (PDCs), as ...

Abstract: Shockless explosion combustor (SEC) is a promising concept for implementing pressure gain combustion into a conventional gas turbine cycle. This concept aims for a quasi-homogeneous auto-ignition that induces a moderate ...
