Chapman-Jouguet deflagrations and their transition to detonation
Mohamed Saif, Wentian Wang, Andrzej Pekalski +2
We study experimentally fast flames and their transition to detonation in mixtures of methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, and propane mixtures with oxygen. Following the interact…
Multiplicity of detonation regimes in systems with a multi-peaked thermicity
S. SM. Lau-Chapdelaine, F. Zhang, M. I. Radulescu
The study investigates detonations with multiple quasi-steady velocities that have been observed in the past in systems with multi-peaked thermicity, using Fickett's detonation ana…
Evolution and stability of shock waves in dissipative gases characterized by activated inelastic collisions
Nick Sirmas, Matei I. Radulescu
Previous experiments have revealed that shock waves driven through dissipative gases may become unstable, for example, in granular gases, and in molecular gases undergoing strong r…
