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…
Ignition Behind Decaying Shock Waves : Detonation Cells
Kevin Cheevers, Matei Radulescu
We first address the problem of initiation behind decaying shock waves analytically and numerically. The ignition along a particle path crossing the shock is analysed in terms of i…
Viscous jetting and Mach stem bifurcation in shock reflections: experiments and simulations
S. S. -M. Lau-Chapdelaine, Q. Xiao, M. I. Radulescu
Shock reflection experiments are performed to study the large-scale convective mixing created by the forward jetting phenomenon. Experiments are performed at a wedge angle of $θ_{\…
The Effect of the Polytropic Index γ on the Structure of Gaseous Detonations
Aliou Sow, S. SM. Lau-Chapdelaine, M. I. Radulescu
The present study aims to clarify the effect of the polytropic index (i.e., the ratio of specific heats in the context of a perfect gas) on the detonation structure. This is addres…
On the shock change equations
Matei Ioan Radulescu
We revisit and derive the shock-change equations relating the dynamics of a shock wave with the partial derivatives describing the motion of a reactive fluid with general equation…
Compressible flow in a Noble-Abel Stiffened-Gas fluid
Matei Ioan Radulescu
While compressible flow theory has relied on the perfect gas model as its workhorse for the past century, compressible dynamics in dense gases, solids and liquids have relied on ma…
