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…
Modeling of 2D self-drifting flame-balls in Hele-Shaw cells
Jorge Yanez, Leonid Kagan, Gregory Sivashinsky +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…
Modeling of thermonuclear fusion flames : transition to detonation
Peter V. Gordon, Leonid Kagan, Gregory Sivashinsky
The paper is concerned with identification of the key mechanisms controlling deflagration-to-detonation transition in stellar medium. The issue of thermal runaway triggered by posi…
Deflagration-to-detonation transition in an unconfined space: II. Expanding hydrogen-oxygen flames
Andrey Koksharov, Leonid Kagan, Gregory Sivashinsky
The problem of deflagration-to-detonation transition in an unconfined environment is revisited. With a freely expanding self-accelerating hydrogen-oxygen flame as an example, it is…
