“…Hot jet initiation has been investigated numerously (Medvedev et al, 2005;Liu et al, 2012;Iglesias et al, 2012); yet, only a few studies have been carried out in supersonic combustible mixtures. Ishii et al (Ishii et al, 2009) investigated experimentally detonation initiation and propagation using a hot jet in high-speed combustible flows where the Mach numbers are 0.9 and 1.2. Han et al (Han et al, 2012;Han et al, 2013) conducted experiments of detonation initiation and deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) using a hot jet in supersonic combustible mixtures with the Mach number above 4.0, and detonations A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 3 were initiated exactly through shocks or shock reflections (Gamezo et al, 2008;Jackson and Shepherd, 2008;Gavilanes et al, 2011;Gavilanes et al, 2013;Chaumeix et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2015).…”
