Numerical investigation on detonation cell evolution in a channel with area-changing cross section

A numerical investigation of transient detonation in granulated material

A two-phase model based upon principles of continuum mixture theory is numerically solved to predict the evolution of detonation in a granulated reactive material. Shock to detonation transition (SDT) is considered whereby combustion is initiated due to compression of the material by a moving piston. In particular, this study demonstrates the existence of a SDT event which gives rise to a stead...

Numerical investigation of heat transfer in a sintered porous fin in a channel flow with the aim of material determination

Extended surfaces are one of the most important approaches to increase the heat transfer rate. According to the Fourier law, the heat transfer increases by increasing the contact surface of body and fluid. In this study, the effect of heat transfer has been investigated on two sets of engineered porous fins, in which the balls with different materials are sintered together. The fluid flow throu...

Comparison of Detonation Processes in a Variable Cross Section Chamber and a Simple Tube

The detonation processes occurring in a variable cross section detonation chamber are compared with that occurring in a simple, constant cross section tube. The variable cross section chamber is made up of a large tube and two small identical tubes connected on each side through frustums. The simple tube has the same diameter as the small tubes of the variable cross section chamber and the same...

Numerical Investigation of Fluid Mixing in a Micro-Channel Mixer with Two Rotating Stirrers by Using the Incompressible SPH Method

Fluid mixing is a crucial and challenging process for microfluidic systems, which are widely used in biochemical processes. Because of their fast performance, active micromixers that use stirrer blades are considered for biological applications. In the present study, by using a robust and convenient Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, miscible mix...
