Rotating detonation propulsion and technology are currently leading the way in aerospace flight development. It is essential to comprehend the combustion characteristics and control mechanisms of rotating detonation for the practical implementation of rotating detonation engines. This study conducts numerical simulations and experimental tests on two-phase rotating detonation combustion, aiming to reveal the organizational mechanism and stability control mechanisms of this process.Firstly, numerical research of the three-dimensional cold flow field in a kerosene/oxygen-enriched air rotating detonation combustor was conducted to analyze the mixing behavior of fully atomized and evaporated kerosene gas with oxygen-enriched air in a rotating detonation combustor. The research focused on the cold flow field evolution during injection and mixing stages, investigating fluid dynamics mechanisms. Different types of cavities were designed and their influence on mixing characteristics was explored. Inner wall cavities were found to generate fluid vortices and enhance turbulent kinetic energy. Furthermore, a low-speed recirculation region at the trailing edge of cavity was identified, which strengthens fluid entrainment and promotes kerosene and air mixing.Furthermore, a study investigated an annular rotating detonation combustor with wall cavity structures using high-frequency pressure sensors to collect wall pressure signals. The analysis examined the impact of variables such as flow rate, equivalence ratio, wall cavity structure and its location parameters on combustion mode distribution, rotating detonation wave velocity and its fluctuation rate, rotating detonation wave propagation location, ignition and extinction processes in kerosene/oxygen-enriched air rotating detonation combustion. Results suggest that the inner-cavity in the combustor can expand the stable formation range of single-wave detonation mode, while outer-cavity reduces this range. Furthermore, inner-cavity structure can enhance detonation wave velocity and decrease the wave velocity fluctuation rate of single-wave detonation mode, with a stronger influence observed as the axial distance decreases.Lastly, a high-speed camera visualization experiment was conducted on a transparent rotating detonation combustor with typical wall cavity structures to investigate the structure of the two-phase rotating detonation flow field. Image processing methods were used to analyze the CH* chemiluminescence intensity distribution, and the study delved into the stable propagation process, ignition process and extinction process of the two-phase rotating detonation waves. The research included an in-depth analysis of the flow field development process during the stable propagation stage of typical combustion modes, such as the single-wave detonation mode and counter-rotating two-wave detonation mode. Furthermore, the study examined the flow field development process during the ignition and extinction stages of the single-wave detonation mode operating conditions. A comprehensive propagation model was established for the entire ignition and extinction stages to explore the characteristics of two-phase rotating detonation combustion.
