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 …

One of the fundamental mechanisms for detonation initiation is deflagration-to-detonation
transition (DDT). This research experimentally explores the runaway condition for highly …

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

To begin uncovering the unknown mechanisms driving the Deflagration-to-Detonation
Transition in largely unexplored environments, such as unbounded systems, a thorough …

Detonation is a high energetic mode of pressure gain combustion that exploits total pressure
rise to augment high flow momentum and thermodynamic efficiencies. Detonation is initiated …

The Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition is a complex process which involves shock
reflections, deflagrations, boundary layers and their interactions with each other. Within …

We use advanced experimental techniques to explore turbulence-induced deflagration-to-
detonation transition (tDDT) in hydrogen–air mixtures. We analyze the full sequence of …

This research quantifies the evolution of pressure for fast burning regimes characterized by
various degrees of compressibility and involving turbulent flames and shocks. The …

Despite decades of research, understanding of the basic physical mechanisms governing
the deflagration-todetonation (DDT) transition still remains largely elusive. Fundamentally …

Although the process through which a deflagration transitions to a detonation (DDT) has
been studied for over a century, it is not well-understood how the propensity for DDT varies …
