Quasi-Two-Dimensional Simulation of a Rotating Detonation Engine Combustor and Injector

S. She-Ming Lau-Chapdelaine, Matei I. Radulescu, Zekai Hong

A numerical simulation of an annular rotating detonation engine with stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen is performed. A generic, well posed, and easily implemented approach using a qua…

Role of the argon and helium bath gases on the structure of H2/O2 detonations

Farzane Zangene, Matei I. Radulescu

This study investigates the role of two inert mono-atomic diluents, argon and helium, on the detonation structure in order to assess the importance of vibrational non-equilibrium a…

Detonation attenuation and quenching in hydrogen mixtures after the interaction with cylinders

Hongxia Yang, Wentian Wang, Farzane Zangane +3

The attenuation and quenching of H/O detonations transmitted across a column of cylinders were studied experimentally and analytically at sub-atmospheric pressures. Two dis…

The critical conditions for the re-ignition and detonation formation from Mach reflections of curved decaying shocks

Farzane Zangene, Matei Radulescu

The objective of this study is to determine the critical conditions for a detonation wave formation following a Mach reflection of two incident shocks. This problem is central to t…

Shock induced ignition and transition to detonation in the presence of mechanically induced non-linear acoustic forcing

Wentian Wang, James McDonald, Matei Ioan Radulescu

We address the problem of shock induced ignition and transition to detonation in a reactive medium in the presence of mechanically induced fluctuations by a moving oscillating pist…

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…
