Simulating the regimes of oblique detonation waves arising at detonation initiation by a small-diameter projectile

Аннотация

Initiating detonation in a reactive hydrogen-oxygen mixture by a spherical projectile of small diameter, flying with velocity exceeding the Chapman-Jouguet one, has been studied numerically. The mathematical model is based on the given kinetic scheme for the description of chemical reactions. At verification of the computational algorithm, the flow regimes and the detonation cell size were compared for numerical and experimental data. The agreement between the calculated and the experimental flow patterns and the quantitative correspondence of the modes of existence of inclined detonation waves have been obtained.
