What is it about?

A wave rotor combustor (WRC) is a novel combustion device with high-speed rotation. The pressure rise and the high thermal efficiency combustion in channel of WRC are associated with the interdisciplinary fundamental scientific problems of aerodynamics and chemical reaction.

Why is it important?

The outstanding merits include high thermal efficiency, high pressure rise, low emission, low fuel consumption, and self-cooling. Therefore, WRC would be one of an important technology to improve sharply the thermal efficiency of gas turbine engine .
