Detonations with Detailed Hydrogen-Oxygen Chemistry

Two-dimensional Simulations

Diffraction of a Detonation Wave, H2:O2:Ar / 2:1:7, T0 =298 K, p0 =10.0 kPa

Tube Width 10 Detonation Cells

Schlieren plots of the density and temperature field 240 microseconds after leaving the outlet. The backward travelling retonation wave is clearly visible.

New triple points have formed and the detonation has been transmitted successfully.
