Abstract:Shock wave focusing is considered a new type of initiation method that does not require external ignition devices. For this method, understanding the shock wave/flame interaction accurately is one of the critical issues for revealing the ignition and triggering mechanisms during shock wave focusing processes. In this study, numerical simulations was carried out to investigate the detailed flow field evolution of the focusing process with kerosene as fuel. Two detonation initiation modes were found during the s… Show more
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.
