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…
Chapman-Jouguet deflagrations and their transition to detonation
Mohamed Saif, Wentian Wang, Andrzej Pekalski +2
We study experimentally fast flames and their transition to detonation in mixtures of methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, and propane mixtures with oxygen. Following the interact…
