Research summary
AI-generated

Kota Mikoshiba's research focuses on detonation-based propulsion systems, particularly rotating detonation engines (RDEs), which are an experimental type of engine that uses continuously propagating detonation (supersonic combustion) waves instead of conventional steady burning to generate thrust more efficiently. Work in this area includes numerical simulations of how fuel and oxidizer injectors respond to detonation waves and how factors like ignition delay affect engine performance.
