Prediction of pressure loss in the injector for rotating detonation engine (RDE) needs to reproduce friction loss, entry loss, and shock wave back-propagation in injectors. This is challenging because calculation cost is high when whole region of RDE is studied. This paper proposes a new prediction method, ''single-element simulation'' to estimate pressure loss in injector with lower computational load. The calculation domain is limited to single-element of injector and its plenum in this method. The time-evolving boundary condition at injector outlet gives the effects of combustion chamber including the detonation propagation. In this paper, the single-element simulations are carried out for the rectangle injector and the chamfered injector for validation of the new method. The error of pressure loss prediction is less than 0.6%, which is 32-50 times faster than full-scale simulation.
