Abstract
Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), which are Humphrey cycle-based constant-volume combustion engines, utilize detonation waves to attain higher efficiencies compared with conventional constant-pressure combustion engines through pressure gain. Such engines have garnered significant interest as future propulsion technologies, and thus, numerous research and development initiatives have been launched specific to RDEs in various forms. This paper presents a survey of research and development trends in RDE operating systems, based on experimental studies conducted worldwide since the 2010s. Additionally, a performance comparison of RDEs developed to date is presented.
