On the role of transverse detonation waves in the re-establishment of attenuated detonations in methane-oxygen
Grace Floring, Mohnish Peswani, Brian Maxwell
The problem of detonation attenuation in stoichiometric methane-oxygen and its re-establishment following its interaction with obstacles was investigated using high resolution nume…
Effect of boundary layer losses on 2D detonation cellular structures
Qiang Xiao, Aliou Sow, Brian Maxwell +1
We evaluate the effect of boundary layer losses on two-dimensional H2/O2/Ar cellular detonations obtained in narrow channels. The experiments provide the details of the cellular st…
Mechanism of flame acceleration and detonation transition from the interaction of a supersonic turbulent flame with an obstruction
Willstrong Rakotoarison, Brian Maxwell, Andrzej Pekalski +1
The present paper seeks to determine the mechanism of flame acceleration and transition to detonation when a turbulent flame preceded by a shock interacts with a single obstruction…
Investigation of Turbulent Mixing and Local Reaction Rates on Deflagration to Detonation Transition in Methane-Oxygen
Brian Maxwell, Andrzej Pekalski, Matei Radulescu
In the current study, the influence of turbulent mixing and local reaction rates on deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) was investigated using a state-of-the-art large eddy…
Influence of Turbulent Fluctuations on Detonation Propagation
Brian McN. Maxwell, Rohit R. Bhattacharjee, Sebastien S. M. Lau-Chapdelaine +3
The present study addresses the reaction zone structure and burning mechanism of unstable detonations. Experiments investigated mainly two-dimensional methane-oxygen cellular deton…
