Descending Modal Transition Dynamics in a Large Eddy Simulation of a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine

Rotating detonation rocket engines (RDREs) exhibit various unsteady phenomena, including modal transitions, that significantly affect their operation, performance and stability. The dynamics of the detonation waves are studied during a descending modal transition (DMT) where four co-rotating detonat...
