We review recent progress in gaseous detonation experiment, modeling, and simulation. We
focus on the propagating detonation wave as a fundamental combustion process. The …

The pyrolysis of nitromethane highly diluted in helium was studied in a plug flow reactor and
in a jet-stirred reactor at 1.07 bar and over the temperature range from 500 to 1100 K. Mole …

In this work, experiments have been performed to measure the detonation velocities and
characteristic cell sizes in the dimethyl ether (DME) fuel–oxygen mixtures. Equilibrium …

Detonations are a complex spatial-temporal unstable phenomenon. In theory, the complete
dynamics of this phenomenon requires a time-dependent multidimensional solution that …

Using a combination of high-speed diagnostics, optical pyrometry, velocimetry and video
photography, we examine the spatiotemporal reaction kinetics of a prototypical high-energy …

The aim of this paper is to provide new experimental data of the minimum ignition energy
(MIE) of gaseous nitromethane/air mixtures to discuss the explosion pressure and the flame …

High-resolution numerical simulations of two-dimensional detonations in a methane–air
mixture with extremely high activation energy show the formation of multiple levels of cellular …

The impact of nitromethane on the explosion characteristics of diethyl ether-aluminium
powder mixed fuel in the presence of different ambient factors is studied in a 20 L sphere …

The structure of detonation propagating in dimethyl ether–oxygen mixtures has been
investigated using steady one-dimensional and unsteady two-dimensional simulations …

We investigate atomic and molecular emission of laser-ablated nitromethane in an Ar or N 2
buffer gas, with fs laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The electronic bands of CN, C 2 …
