Determining Shock and Detonation Wave PropagationTime Using Wavelet Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The propagation speed of a shock or detonation wave in a shock or detonation tube is usually determined by a time-of-flight method by dividing the distance between two transducers with the propagation time of the disturbance signal. Some arbitrariness is inherent in determining the propagation time by this method. A new method based on Haar and Morlet wavelet transforms is reported. The method was tested against a step and a decaying spike with added noise, which are representative of shock and detonation waves. The wavelet methods can be applied to the step discontinuity provided that the SNR ratio is good. The wavelet methods worked very well for the decaying spike in the presence of noise.

متن کاملStructural Response of Piping to Internal Gas Detonation
Detonation waves in gas-filled piping or tubing pose special challenges in analysis and prediction of structural response. The challenges arise due the nature of the detonation process and the role of fluid-structure interaction in determining the propagation and arrest of fractures. Over the past ten years, our laboratory has been engaged in studying this problem and developing methodologies f...

Abstract A two-dimensional numerical simulation is performed in the present work to study the structure of a detonation wave in high activation energy mixtures, which are characterized by their turbulent reaction zone structure and unreacted pockets. The process of transverse wave and triple point collision with the channel walls, formation and consumption mechanism of unburnt gas pockets is e...
متن کاملLinks between Detonation Wave Propagation and Reactive Flow Models
The WBL model for detonation wave propagation was extended to allow more general initiation in the context of level set methods. Initiation could then be induced fairly seamlessly from reactive flow simulations. The accuracy of WBL detonation compared favourably with results from full reactive flow, and proved surprisingly robust with respect to changes in numerical parameters used to trigger W...

A multidimensional implementation of DSD, formulated with the level set method, is applied to track the propagation of a detonation wave in a heterogeneous explosive consisting of an array of inert cylindrical obstacles with a liquid explosive in the interstitial space. With the Huygens assumption, the average detonation velocity through the explosive is less than that for the liquid explosive ...
