Abstract

Detonation is useful phenomena to get an effective thrust for aerospace vehicle. Fast pressure rise of detonation provides a cycle close to the constant volume system to use energy efficiently. From this point detonation can be used as an aerospace engine system. There are several types of detonation engine; pulse detonation engine (PDE) which provides a thrust by detonation intermittently, and oblique detonation engine (ODE), spin detonation engine (SDE), and rotating detonation engine (RDE) which, on the other hand, provide a continuous thrust.
