Numerical Simulations of Gaseous Detonations

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 8 Detonation Cells

Schlieren plots of the density and temperature field 240 microseconds after leaving the outlet.

Almost no triple points are visible anymore. The detonation has been weakened to a deflagration.
