Detonation of energetic materials (EMs) is of great importance for military applications, while
the understanding of detailed events and mechanisms for the detonation process is scarce …

OVER the past several years, revolutionary advances in computational modeling of
multiscale physics1− 3 have prompted numerous numerical simulations of the subject of this …

In this work, to promote deflagration to detonation transition (DDT), a designed hot jet in a
pre-detonator is produced to initiate detonations in the main detonation tube. We perform …

We use a hybrid two-phase numerical methodology to investigate the flow-field subsequent
to the detonation of a spherical charge of TNT with an ambient distribution of a dilute cloud …

Detonation initiation has been extensively investigated in the past several decades. In the
literature, there are many studies on detonation initiation using a large amount of blast …

The research on gaseous detonation has recently become a very important issue, mainly
due to safety reasons in connexion with increasing importance of gaseous fuels. To simulate …

This paper presents a simplified reactive multi-gas model for the numerical simulation of
detonation waves. The mathematical model is formulated based on a thermodynamically …

A shock wave that is characterized by sharp physical gradients always draws the medium
out of equilibrium. In this work, both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium …

Detonation initiation and ignition wave propagation in concentration stratified n-heptane/air
mixtures with and without temperature gradient are numerically modeled by using the …

An identification of the basic mechanisms controlling deflagration-todetonation transition
(DDT) remains one of the major challenges of combustion theory. Although significant …
