Rotating or continuous detonation engine study is reviewed in this paper. First of all the history of rotating detonation engine study is presented and the mechanism of rotating detonation engine is discussed through the recent study. Especially how detonation front rotates in a coaxial cylindrical tube is shown through numerical analyses. Then the experimental system and application of rotating detonation engine are described from the experimental and numerical outcomes recently obtained. The future possibility of the real rotating detonation engine will be discussed at the last.
