Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Rotating Detonation Engines”. Recent years have witnessed a notable increase in endeavors to investigate unsteady combustion processes that offer a prospective increase in stagnation pressure—and therefore fuel efficiency—due to constrained heat release. One such pressure gain combustion (PGC) concept is the rotating detonation engine (RDE). RDEs make use of one or more detonation waves that travel circumferentially about an annular or hollow combustor at kilohertz frequencies, continually combusting the supplied reactants without the need for more than one initial ignition. Due to its simplicity in design, which can be integrated into existing systems—both propulsion and power generation—and the lack of moving mechanical components, RDEs are at the forefront of PGC research. This Special Issue is oriented towards bringing to the fore the state-of-the-art in RDE research. Topics of interest for this Issue include all areas of research pertinent to RDEs, covering experimental, analytical, and numerical studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
