Their potential lies in using a fluid mechanical instability \u2013 detonation waves \u2013 rather than mechanical means \u2013 turbo pumps or compressors \u2013 to create the high pressures necessary for efficient combustion. However, the combustor experiences extreme conditions of periodic heat release and pressure peaks that travel around the annular combustor at frequencies of several thousand Hertz imposing challenging mechanical and thermal stresses. Reliably reaching and controlling quasi steady-state conditions is a prerequisite for both sustained RDC operation and to ensure repro-<br>ducible boundary conditions for numerical simulations. Here, we report on the activities at the Institute for Thermal Energy Technology and Safety (ITES) at KIT Karlsruhe to develop a test bed, from early safety-related detonation experiments to design and operation of an RDC-based compressorless gas turbine that reaches quasi-steady state conditions with a turbine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HISST2025_283_paper.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Joachim GRUNE, Karsten SEMPERT, Thomas JORDAN, Daniel BANUTI<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: HiSST-2025-283<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,3361,3363],"tags":[1444,624,3472,3473,1558],"class_list":["post-22588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-1-hisst-2025","category-propulsion-systems-components","tag-detonation","tag-hydrogen","tag-power","tag-rdc","tag-rde","category-993","category-3361","category-3363","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22588"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22590,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22588\/revisions\/22590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
