The Effect of the Polytropic Index γ on the Structure of Gaseous Detonations
Aliou Sow, S. SM. Lau-Chapdelaine, M. I. Radulescu
The present study aims to clarify the effect of the polytropic index (i.e., the ratio of specific heats in the context of a perfect gas) on the detonation structure. This is addres…

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…
