On the basis of the Euler equations, the interaction of a shock wave in a combustible gas with an elliptical bubble of an inert gas of increased density is numerically simulated within a plane two-dimensional formulation. The finite-volume Godunov-type method of the second order of approximation is applied. Gas combustion is modeled using the Korobeinikov-Levin two-stage kinetics. Various values of the Mach number of the incident wave and the elongation of the inert bubble are considered, and the refraction and focusing of the incident shock are described. Qualitatively different regimes of gas detonation initiation have been found, including direct initiation by a strong wave, ignition upon reflection of an average-intensity wave from the gas interface, and upon focusing of secondary shock waves at lower shock Mach numbers. The dependence of the ignition mode on the shock intensity and the shape of the bubble is determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
