Efficient fuelâair mixing remains one of the primary challenges in supersonic combustion chambers due to extremely short residence times and strong compressibility effects. This study presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation of hydrogen... Uncover the latest and most impactful research…
The research aims to design a specialized dual-mode engine that may make hypersonic and space travel more efficient and accessible. By Eddy Duryea ’13 | October 26, 2026 UCF Professor Kareem Ahmed is developing a dual-mode liquid detonation propulsion engine that will operate as…
Combined wind tunnel tests and simulations at Mach 6 show an opposing jet cuts blunt-body drag by up to 32.67 percent, with a deflected jet recovering performance lost at angle of attack. Subject of Research: Experimental and numerical study of opposing jet…
New three-dimensional simulations show that underwater aerospike nozzle jets become increasingly unstable, with more intense bulging, necking, back-attack, and pressure oscillations, as ignition depth increases from 10 to 60 meters. Subject of Research: Numerical simulation of underwater jet flow and thrust characteristics…

Speed and stealth are key in the all-domain battlespace. A hypersonic pace – five or more times the speed of sound – can put a missile on target before enemy defense systems can respond effectively. Having long range hypersonic systems allows pilots…
From rocket boosters to air-breathing engines, hypersonic weapons depend on different technologies to accelerate and sustain flight. Hypersonic weapons promise to reach targets at more than five times the speed of sound, but getting them there requires some serious engineering.
A multi-institutional research team led by Washington University in St. Louis has received a five-year, $4.25 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop improved fuel injector designs for advanced aircraft and defense applications. The project is led…
This study presents the numerical design and optimization of a convergent–divergent nozzle integrated with a pulsed detonation combustor (PDC) operating under reduced outlet pressure conditions. The work builds upon an experimentally validated TRL 4 PDC with demonstrated vacuum operation, which…
Army Recognition U.S. Air Force Tests Rotating Detonation Engine to Enable Faster Lower-Cost Mass-Produced Missiles. The U.S. Air Force is preparing a flight demonstration of rotating detonation propulsion for future high-speed missiles designed for larger-scale production. The technology could enable longer-range air-to-surface…
