Initiation, Combustion and Transition to Detonation in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Reactive Mixtures.

Abstract

The research deals with the broad topics of initiation, combustion and transition to detonation in homogeneous and heterogenous reactive mixtures. One specific area deals with analytical and experimental work directed to direct initation of detonation by a nonideal blast wave in chemically sensitized reactive fuel-air clouds. The other specific topic involves the hydrodynamic modeling of ignition and flamespreading in granular energetic solids to predict the potential for deflagration-to-detonation (DDT).
