Basic research for aoard proposal 21IOA024 "pressure, ION probe, and flow-visualization measurements in inside-injector rotating detonation engines"

The Center For Collaborative Interdisciplinary Sciences, N.p.o. received a $224,660 Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to conduct basic research for proposal 21IOA024 titled "Pressure, Ion Probe, and Flow-Visualization Measurements in Inside-Injector Rotating Detonation Engines." The research will be performed in Japan from April 2021 through April 2023 under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800).

The Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program aims to maintain technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to Air Force needs and prevent technological surprise through maintaining a strong research infrastructure. This award supports basic research that will provide pressure, ion probe, and flow visualization measurements inside rotating detonation engines, advancing knowledge relevant to Air Force propulsion needs.
