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 problem of direct initiation of detonation, where a powerful ignition source drives a blast
wave into a gaseous combustible mixture to generate a Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) detonation …

The nonlinear dynamics of Chapman–Jouguet pulsating detonations are studied both
numerically and asymptotically for a two-step reaction model having separate induction and …

In this work we investigate the dynamics of self-sustained detonation waves that have an
embedded information boundary such that the dynamics is influenced only by a finite region …

In this study, the velocity fluctuation near the detonation limits is investigated experimentally.
Five explosive mixtures in five different diameter tubes were used and the choice of the …

Experimental observations indicate that dilutions with large amounts of argon lead to stable
detonations having a regular cellular structure with only weak transverse waves. In the …

We describe a method for the numerical solution of high-speed reactive flow in complex
geometries using overlapping grids and block-structured adaptive mesh refinement. We …

This paper concerns the extension of the multicomponent gas-kinetic BGK-type scheme to
chemical reactive flow calculations. In the kinetic model, each component satisfies its …

Pulsating detonation and extinction in stoichiometric hydrogen/oxygen/argon gas with water
sprays are studied for the first time. Eulerian-Lagrangian method is employed, and the …

The structure and propagation of the one-dimensional (1-D) detonation for the H 2 single
bondO 2 system with argon dilution are calculated by solving the Euler and the diffusive NS …
