Abstract
A combustor for a rotating detonation engine includes a radially outer wall extending along an axis (A); a radially inner wall extending along the axis (A), wherein the radially inner wall is positioned within the radially outer wall to define an annular detonation chamber having an inlet for fuel and oxidant and an outlet; a first passage for feeding at least one of the fuel and the oxidant along a first passage axis (a1) to the inlet; a second passage for feeding at least one of the fuel and the oxidant along a second passage axis (a2) to the inlet, wherein the second passage axis is arranged at an angle (α) relative to the first passage axis whereby mixing of flow from the first passage and the second passage is induced.
