Influence of Turbulent Fluctuations on Detonation Propagation
Brian McN. Maxwell, Rohit R. Bhattacharjee, Sebastien S. M. Lau-Chapdelaine +3
The present study addresses the reaction zone structure and burning mechanism of unstable detonations. Experiments investigated mainly two-dimensional methane-oxygen cellular deton…
Influence of hydrodynamic instabilities on the propagation mechanism of fast flames
Logan Maley, Rohit Bhattacharjee, S. She-Ming Lau-Chapdelaine +1
The present work investigates the structure of fast supersonic turbulent flames typically observed as precursors to the onset of detonation. These high speed deflagrations are obta…
Detonation re-initiation mechanism following the Mach reflection of a quenched detonation
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Sebastien She Ming Lau-Chapdelaine, Geoffrey Maines +2
This experimental study addresses the re-initiation mechanism of detonation waves following the Mach reflection of a shock-flame complex. The detonation diffraction around a cylind…
