Asymmetry of imploding detonations in thin channels
Sebastian Rodriguez Rosero, Jason Loiseau, Andrew J. Higgins
The factors that influence the symmetry of an imploding detonation are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Detonations in sub-atmospheric acetylene-oxygen were initiated…
Magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability and feedthrough in a resistive liquid-metal liner of a finite thickness
Paria Makaremi-Esfarjani, Andrew J. Higgins
The effect of magnetic tension and diffusion on the perturbation growth of a liquid-metal liner subjected to the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability is investigated. An initi…
Propagation Distance Required to Reach Steady-State Detonation Velocity in Finite-Sized Charges
Jianling Li, XiaoCheng Mi, Andrew J. Higgins
The decay of a detonation wave from its initial CJ velocity to its final, steady state velocity upon encountering a finite thickness or diameter charge is investigated numerically…
Effect of Spatial Heterogeneity on Near-Limit Propagation of a Stable Detonation
Jianling Li, Xiaocheng Mi, Andrew J. Higgins
The effect of introducing a spatial heterogeneity into an explosive medium is studied computationally by examining the detonation velocity near the limit to propagation in a thin e…
Geometric Scaling for a Detonation Wave Governed by a Pressure-Dependent Reaction Rate and Yielding Confinement
Jianling Li, XiaoCheng Mi, Andrew J. Higgins
The propagation of detonation waves in reactive media bounded by an inert, compressible layer is examined via computational simulations in two different geometries, axisymmetric cy…
