Liquid-fueled Rotating Detonation Engines

Combustion Webinar 03/29/2024, Speaker: Prof. Venkat Raman, University of Michigan Detonation engines are emerging as a viable pathway for a wide variety of propulsion systems. Of particular interest is the use of liquid fuels, where the interaction between the shock waves and the liquid jets provide the basis of a complex and multi-scale scientific challenge. In this talk, the key physics that drive multiphase detonations, and the state of the art in simulation and modeling will be discussed. Current understanding in terms of wave behavior, droplet evolution and detonation stability will be discussed. Dr. Venkat Raman received his PhD from Iowa State University in the department of chemical engineering, and was a NASA/Center for Turbulence Research Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. Prior to joining University of Michigan, he was on the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin. He now serves as a tenured professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of Aerospace Engineering. Raman received an NSF CAREER award in 2008, a distinguished paper award at the International Combustion Symposium in 2013, and he held the Eli. H and Ramona Thornton Centennial Fellow in Engineering at UT Austin from 2013-2014. He is a recipient of the George J. Huebener, Jr. Research Excellence Award from the University of Michigan. He was elected Fellow of the Combustion Institute in 2022, and serves as an Associate Editor of Combustion and Flame as well as the AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power. In his time as a faculty member, Raman has advised/currently advising 40 PhD/MS students, and has published more than 175 peer reviewed articles in archival journals and conferences. Raman’s research interests lie in the broad area of computational propulsion, but has more recently focused on detonation engines and scramjet-based hypersonic propulsion.
