Mathematical Analysis of Strong Fluid Mechanical Effects in Reacting and Nonreacting Gases

Abstract

This report covers the period October 1, 1985 through September 30, 1988, the three year period of this grant. The research performed under this grant includes mathematical analysis of strong fluid mechanical effects in reacting and nonreacting gases. The following topics have been studied during this three year period: 1) Numerical Modelling of Initiation and Detonation Wave Stability in Multi-D; 2) Enhanced Combustion through Nonlinear Wave Interaction; and 3) New Criteria to Predict Regular Spacing of Reacting Mach Stems.
