Fundamental research on detonation is relevant to industrial safety issues, propulsion and
energy production applications, and internal combustion engines. Detonation waves are …

We present experimental observations of the density field and reaction structure of methane
and natural gas detonation waves propagating in a narrow channel. Simultaneous time …

Two-dimensional (2-D) numerical simulations based on the Eulerian–Lagrangian method
that take droplet break-up into account are conducted to clarify the mean structure of …

Hydrocarbon fueled detonations are imaged in a narrow channel with simultaneous
schlieren and broadband chemiluminescence at 5 MHz. Mixtures of stoichiometric methane …

Historically, it has been a challenge to simulate the experimentally observed cellular
structures and marginal behavior of multi-dimensional, thin-channel hydrogen detonations …

We evaluate the effect of boundary layer losses on two-dimensional H2/O2/Ar cellular
detonations obtained in narrow channels. The experiments provide the details of the cellular …

Experiments conducted over the past several decades have shown that the cellular structure
of detonations is responsible for enhancing the detonability of gaseous detonations in the …

The propagation of multidimensional gaseous detonations at elevated pressures was
investigated numerically. Initial conditions at which deviations from ideal gas are expected …

This investigation concerns the problem of detonation attenuation in stoichiometric methane-
oxygen and its re-establishment following its interaction with obstacles, using high resolution …

The effect of chemistry modeling on the flow structure and quenching limits of detonations
propagating into reactive layers bounded by an inert gas is investigated numerically. Three …
