Detonation Simulation with the AMROC Framework

Numerical simulations can be the key to the thorough understanding of the multi-dimensional nature of transient detonation waves. But the accurate approximation of realistic detonations is extremely demanding, because a wide range of different scales need to be resolved. This paper describes an efficient simulation strategy based on a generic implementation of a blockstructured dynamically adaptive mesh refinement technique for distributed memory machines. Highly resolved detonation structure computations with detailed hydrogen-oxygen chemistry demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in practice.
