Progress in combustion science and engineering has led to the generation of large amounts
of data from large-scale simulations, high-resolution experiments, and sensors. This corpus …

Previous studies have demonstrated that shock wave focusing is an efficient method for
detonation initiation by creating hot spots in the interaction of shock-shock or the collision of …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) detonation simulations solving the compressible Navier-
Stokes equations with detailed chemistry are performed in both square channel and round …

Hydrogen is a key pillar in the global Net Zero strategy. Rapid scaling up of hydrogen
production, transport, distribution and utilization is expected. This entails that hydrogen …

Experimental and computational investigations are carried out to identify the generalized
criterion to predict the preignition tendency of methanol and ethanol mixtures in shock tubes …

Dynamics of ethylene autoignition and deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) are first
numerically investigated in a one-dimensional shock tube using a reduced chemistry …

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 …

Ethanol oxidation was studied by measuring CO time-histories and ignition delay times
behind reflected shockwaves at elevated pressures. In this study, experimental conditions …

A TRAnsparent cylindrical (TRAC) shock tube test section has been developed to explore
the ignition structure behind reflected shockwaves via simultaneous lateral and endwall high …

A high-order, quasi-one-dimensional, reacting, compressible flow solver is developed to
simulate non-ideal effects and chemical kinetics in shock tube systems. To this end, physical …
