Detonation Turbulence Interaction

چکیده
This paper reports a numerical study on the effect of turbulence on the detonation wave properties. The analysis is based on the integration of the chemically reactive Navier– Stokes equations using a Runge–Kutta scheme and a fifth-order WENO spatial discretization. We perform a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the fluid-mechanics equations in three dimensions to determine the fine-scale evolution.

Role of the Induction Zone on Turbulence-Detonation Interaction
This paper presents an in-depth analysis on the weak turbulence detonation linear interaction problem. The emphasis is on scaling and resonance issues due to the presence of structural scales that are intrinsic to the post-shock heat release region. Natural frequencies are determined as eigenvalues of the non-forced interaction inviscid problem. Influence of detonation parameters on the set of ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Corona Discharge Initiator Using Detonation Tube Impulse Measurements
Experiments were carried out to determine the effectiveness of a transient plasma, i.e, corona discharge, to initiate a detonation in a short tube. A high-voltage pulse generator used a pseudo-spark switch to discharge a capacitor through a transformer connected to electrodes in the combustion initiator section. The resulting voltage pulse (90 kV for 50 ns) produced a plasma discharge consistin...
متن کاملTurbulent Oxygen Flames in Type Ia Supernovae
In previous studies, we examined turbulence-flame interactions in carbonburning thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernovae. In this study, we consider turbulence-flame interactions in the trailing oxygen flames. The two aims of the paper are to examine the response of the inductive oxygen flame to intense levels of turbulence, and to explore the possibility of transition to detonation in the ox...
متن کاملFlame-driven Deflagration-to-detonation Transitions in Type Ia Supernovae?
Although delayed detonation models of thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs seem promising for reproducing Type Ia supernovae, the transition of the flame propagation mode from subsonic deflagration to supersonic detonation remains hypothetical. A potential instant for this transition to occur is the onset of the distributed burning regime, i.e. the moment when turbulence first affects the i...
متن کاملPurely Gasdynamic Multidimensional Indirect Detonation Initiation Using Localized Acoustic Timescale Power Deposition
A “purely gasdynamic” indirect detonation initiation process is presented that can be independent of diffusion, viscosity and turbulence, and does not require direct initiation. In this process, energy is deposited into a finite volume of fluid in an amount of time that is similar to the acoustic timescale of the fluid volume. Highly resolved two-dimensional simulations show that the artificial...
