A study has been conducted which deals with the feasibility of utilizing exclusively the detonative mode of combustion in a rocket motor rather than the deflagrative mode used in conventional, chemical rocket motors. The configuration adopted consists of an annular combustion chamber wherein detonation waves completely fill the chamber cross-section and propagate steadily in the same circumferential direction. This configuration leads to the descriptive term Rotating Detonation Wave Engine (RDWE). (Author)
