A canonical system that contains the basic elements of detonation initiated by compressible
turbulence thermodynamic fluctuations was proposed by Towery et al.[“Detonation initiation …

Abstract Theory and computations have established that thermodynamic gradients created
by hot spots in reactive gas mixtures can lead to spontaneous detonation initiation …

This work characterizes the compressibility dynamics in turbulent fast flames for a range of
turbulent flame speeds. These turbulent fast flames experience increased effects of …

Detonation–turbulence linear interaction analysis extends the non-reactive shock–
turbulence analog by considering geometrical scaling of the noise with respect to the half …

To complement our previous analysis of interactions of large-scale turbulence with strong
detonations, the corresponding theory of interactions of small-scale turbulence is presented …

Proper characterization of the transient interaction between shock front motion and chemical
energy release is the key for further understanding of unsteady detonation dynamics. We …

We propose a linear asymptotic theory to describe the propagation of planar detonation
fronts through heterogeneous mixtures of reactive gases consisting of random fluctuations in …

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effect of preshock turbulence on the
detonation wave properties. The analysis is based on the integration of the chemically …

This paper addresses a specific reactive‐flow configuration, namely, the interaction of a
detonation wave with convected homogeneous isotropic weak turbulence (which can be …

The turbulent deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) process occurs when a subsonic
flame interacts with intense turbulence resulting in spontaneous acceleration and the onset …
