Abstract: Simulations of rotating detonation engines are still dominated by solvers on uniform or statically refined meshes. Here, we demonstrate the application of 3D parallel block-structured adaptive mesh refinement to this problem class. The computations employ a generic shock-capturing curvilinear high-speed combustion solver within the parallel adaptive mesh refinement framework AMROC. The ability to not only capture the rotating waves effectively, but to resolve sub-scale phenomena down to the cellular structures, intrinsic to detonation propagation, demonstrates the potential of the approach.
