On initiation of detonation in large fuel-air clouds
Leonid Kagan, Peter V. Gordon, Gregory Sivashinsky
The proposed study is motivated by experimental evidence, dating back to 1985, demonstrating the possibility of deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in a fuel-air cloud. The…

On disintegration of lean hydrogen flames in narrow gaps
Jorge Yanez, Leonid Kagan, Mike Kuznetsov +1
The disintegration of near limit flames propagating through the gap of Hele-Shaw cells has recently become a subject of active research. In this paper, the flamelets resulting from…

On dynamics of gasless combustion in slowly varying periodic media: periodic fronts, their stability and propagation-extinction-diffusion-reignition pattern
Amanda Matson, Leonid Kagan, Claude-Michel Brauner +2
In this paper we consider a classical model of gasless combustion in a one dimensional formulation under the assumption of ignition temperature kinetics. We study the propagation o…
