Abstract: Owing to the pressure gain combustion characteristics, the gas turbine can enhance the system thermodynamic cycle efficiency by integrating a rotating detonation combustor (RDC). In this study, an experimental model of a hydrogen/air RDC with a variant installation of turbine guide vanes (TGVs) was developed. A mathematical model was proposed to identify the rotating detonation wave (RDW) propagation direction. The accuracy of the calculated RDW instantaneous velocity was improved, and the range of velocity fluctuations narrowed from 200 to 1700 m s−1 to 800–1600 m s−1. The impact of TGV installation on the rotating detonation characteristics was investigated. Both the RDW frequency and static pressure increased by installing the TGV at the combustor outlet. The propagation direction of the initial detonation wave induced the RDW to propagate along the same direction. TGV installation reduced the discrepancy in the RDW velocity between two opposite directions as well as the propagation direction changing frequency, while the inverse TGV installation achieved better optimization. The high-frequency pressure oscillations attenuated at the downstream of the TGV, and the amplitude varied depending on the TGV installation options. The static pressure decreased by 14%–16% in both TGV installation options when the combustion flow travelled through the TGV.
