Effect of spatial distribution of mesoscale heterogeneities on the shock-to-detonation transition in liquid nitromethane
XiaoCheng Mi, Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis +1
The sensitizing effect of cavities in the form of microbubbles on the shock initiation of a homogeneous liquid explosive is studied computationally. While the presence of voids in…
Dimensional scaling of flame propagation in discrete particulate clouds
Fredric Y. K. Lam, XiaoCheng Mi, Andrew J. Higgins
The critical dimension necessary for a flame to propagate in suspensions of fuel particles in oxidizer is studied analytically and numerically. Two types of models are considered:…
Influence of Discrete Sources on Detonation Propagation in a Burgers Equation Analog System
XiaoCheng Mi, Andrew J. Higgins
An analog to the equations of compressible flow that is based on the inviscid Burgers equation is utilized to investigate the effect of spatial discreteness of energy release on th…
