Investigations on Deflagration to Detonation Transition
4 simplified model that can predict the transition from compaction to detonation and shock to detonation is given with the uim of describing experiments in beds of porous HMX. In the case of compaction to detonation. the energy of early impact generates a slowly moving. convectivereactive deflagration that expands near the piston face and evolves in a manner that is characteristic of confined d...
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 کاملPhysical Mechanisms of DDT in an Array of PBX 9501 Cylinders Initiation Mechanisms of DDT
The Deflagration to Detonation Transition (DDT) in large arrays (100s) of explosive devices is investigated using large-scale computer simulations running the Uintah Computational Framework. Our particular interest is understanding the fundamental physical mechanisms by which convective deflagration of cylindrical PBX 9501 devices can transition to a fully-developed detonation in transportation...
متن کاملA Subgrid-scale Model for Deflagration-to-Detonation Transitions in Type Ia Supernova Explosion Simulations
Context. A promising model for normal Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions are delayed detonations of Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs, in which the burning starts out as a subsonic deflagration and turns at a later phase of the explosion into a supersonic detonation. The mechanism of the underlying deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) is unknown in detail, but necessary conditions have b...
متن کاملDeflagrations and detonations in thermonuclear supernovae.
We study a type Ia supernova explosion using three-dimensional numerical simulations based on reactive fluid dynamics. We consider a delayed-detonation model that assumes a deflagration-to-detonation transition. In contrast with the pure deflagration model, the delayed-detonation model releases enough energy to account for a healthy explosion, and does not leave carbon, oxygen, and intermediate...
