This thesis reports original research on a novel internal combustion (IC) engine charge air system concept called Turbo-Discharging. Turbo-Discharging depressurises the IC engine exhaust system so that the engine gas exchange pumping work is reduced, thereby reducing fuel consum…

The Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) is a novel rocket combustor configuration that features a periodic, high aspect ratio (length of flowpath versus transverse thickness) combustion chamber designed to promote tangential high-frequency combustion instabilities typical of conven…
