Critical diffraction of irregular structure detonations and their predictability from experimentally obtained D-K data
Farzane Zangene, Qiang Xiao, Matei Radulescu
The present work reports new experiments of detonation diffraction in a 2D channel configuration in stoichiometric mixtures of ethylene, ethane, and methane with oxygen as oxidizer…
On the self-similarity of diffracting gaseous detonations and the critical channel width problem
Matei Ioan Radulescu, Remy Mevel, Qiang Xiao +1
One strategy for arresting propagating detonation waves in pipes is by imposing a sudden area enlargement, which provides a rapid lateral divergence of the gases in the reaction zo…
Role of instability on the limits of laterally strained detonation waves
Qiang Xiao, Matei I. Radulescu
The present work examines the role of instability and diffusive phenomena in controlling the limits of detonations subject to lateral strain rates. Experiments were conducted in hy…
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…
Dynamics of Hydrogen-oxygen-argon cellular detonations with a constant mean lateral strain rate
Qiang Xiao, Matei I. Radulescu
The present work revisits the problem of modelling the real gaseous detonation dynamics at the macro-scale by simple steady one-dimensional (1D) models. Experiments of detonations…
