Sensitizing Reaction Chemistry in Detonation
Abstract
The project centered on a rational sensitization of the chemistry effect without notably affecting the unburned mixture properties. The work measure the minimum detonation tube diameter and detonation cell size for a series of fuel-oxidizer-diluent mixtures in which the ignition delay time is altered by doping a trace amount of additive (e.g., ozone). Available chemical reaction models were extended to detonation simulations and expanded to include the chemistry of ozone in fuel oxidation. Molecular dynamics studies focused on the interaction of shocks with nano-droplets of n-dodecane with the goal of understanding heterogeneous energy transfer in shocks.
