Thermal ignition revisited with two-dimensional molecular dynamics: role of fluctuations in activated collisions
Nick Sirmas, Matei I. Radulescu
The problem of thermal ignition in a homogeneous gas is revisited from a molecular dynamics perspective. A two-dimensional model is adopted, which assumes reactive disks of type A…
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…
Dynamics of detonations with a constant mean flow divergence
Matei Ioan Radulescu, Bijan Borzou
An exponential horn geometry is introduced in order to establish cellular detonations with a constant mean lateral mass divergence, propagating at quasi-steady speeds below the Cha…
Viscous solution of the triple shock reflection problem
S. She-Ming Lau-Chapdelaine, Matei I. Radulescu
The reflection of a triple-shock configuration was studied numerically in two dimensions using the Navier-Stokes equations. The flow field was initialized using three shock theory,…
