Stability of detonation profiles in the ZND limit
نویسنده
چکیده
Confirming a conjecture of Lyng–Raoofi–Texier–Zumbrun, we show that stability of strong detonation waves in the ZND, or small-viscosity, limit is equivalent to stability of the limiting ZND detonation together with stability of the viscous profile associated with the component Neumann shock. More, on bounded frequencies the nonstable eigenvalues of the viscous detonation wave converge to those of the limiting ZND detonation, while on frequencies of order one over viscosity, they converge to one over viscosity times those of the associated viscous Neumann shock. This yields immediately a number of examples of instability and Hopf bifurcation of reacting Navier–Stokes detonations through the extensive numerical studies of ZND stability in the detonation literature. Mathematics subject classification: 35B25.

Existence and stability of curved multidimensional detonation fronts
The rigorous study of spectral stability for ZND detonations was begun by J.J. Erpenbeck in [E1]. He used a normal mode analysis to define a stability function V (λ, η), whose zeros in Rλ > 0 correspond to multidimensional perturbations of a steady planar profile that grow exponentially with time. In [E3] he was able to prove that for large classes of steady ZND profiles, unstable zeros of V al...
متن کاملA Stability Index for Detonation Waves in Majda’s Model for Reacting Flow
Using Evans function techniques, we develop a stability index for weak and strong detonation waves analogous to that developed for shock waves in [GZ,BSZ], yielding useful necessary conditions for stability. Here, we carry out the analysis in the context of the Majda model, a simplified model for reacting flow; the method is extended to the full Navier–Stokes equations of reacting flow in [Ly,L...
متن کاملLow Frequency Stability of Multi-dimensional Inviscid Planar Detonation Waves
We consider the problem of multi-dimensional linearized stability of planar, inviscid detonation waves. For an abstract, multi-step reaction model a normal mode analysis leads to a stability function similar to the Lopatinski determinant for gas dynamics. In the lowfrequency/long wave limit of the perturbation we obtain explicit criteria for uniform stability, weak stability, and strong instabi...
متن کاملOn the One-dimensional Stability of Viscous Strong Detonation Waves
Building on Evans function techniques developed to study the stability of viscous shocks, we examine the stability of viscous strong detonation wave solutions of the reacting Navier-Stokes equations. The primary result, following [1, 17], is the calculation of a stability index whose sign determines a necessary condition for spectral stability. We show that for an ideal gas this index can be ev...
متن کاملEfficient Numerical Stability Analysis of Detonation Waves in Znd
As described in the classic works of Lee–Stewart and Short–Stewart, the numerical evaluation of linear stability of planar detonation waves is a computationally intensive problem of considerable interest in applications. Reexamining this problem from a modern numerical Evans function point of view, we derive a new algorithm for their stability analysis, related to a much older method of Erpenbe...
