Torque Around Axial Direction on Rotating Detonation Engines

What is it about?

In this study, we measured the torque of rotating detonation engines by introducing a 6-axis force sensor able to output the torque and axial force simultaneously. We also observed several modes, some of which had dominantly positive or negative propagation duration, and others which contained both. From the results, we clarified that the torque is closely connected to the propagation of detonation waves in terms of direction and strength.
