Abstract
A rotating detonation engine includes an annulus that defines a volume in which a mixture of an oxidizer and a fuel detonate in a rotating fashion, the volume defining a downstream outlet through which detonation exhaust flows. The rotating detonation engine further includes a wave arrestor positioned upstream from a location of detonation and configured to reduce a magnitude of a pressure wave traveling upstream from the location of detonation.
