The operating behavior of a rotating detonation combustor is experimentally explored for stoichiometric H2–O2–N2mixtures for four combustor geometries to determine the role of cell width (λ) and combustor channel width (wch) on the existence of detonation and number of waves. The ratio of nitrogen dilution ratio (β= N2:O2) of the oxidizer is varied fromβ= 3.76 (air) toβ= 2, yielding a reduction in the cell width by a factor of two. The regime of successful detonation is bounded by a minimum normalized channel width ofwch/λ> 0.5, which agrees with the limit for classical detonation propagation in a rectangular channel. The number of detonation waves within the combustor ranges fromn= 1–3, and increases in a predictable fashion when the normalized perimeter of a detonation front exceedsp/λ> 7.4. From the present work, it appears feasible to predict the existence and multiplicity of rotating detonations from the combustor geometry and mixture cell width.
