An experimental study of the influence of low concentration particle suspensions on the propagation of detonation waves in a combustible gaseous mixture is presented. In all cases the particles have an effect on the propagation of the detonation but

A series of experiments supported by numerical simulations are reported on the interaction between a planar incident shock and a single obstacle. The test mixtures used were stoichiometric hydrogen and oxygen diluted with either argon or nitrogen at

The paper presents the results of a computational investigation of limiting water droplet and vapor concentrations, beyond which laminar methane-air flames are incapable of self-sustained propagation. The variation of laminar burning velocity with dr

Detailed observation of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) is inherently difficult. This is primarily due to the stochastic nature of flame acceleration and shock formation processes that in most practical situations give rise to the conditi

The paper reports the results of a series of studies on the interaction of gaseous detonations with obliquely inclined surfaces. Interactions of increasing complexity are described in turn: at a planar inclined wall, two-dimensional propagation in a

This paper presents results from a program of experimental studies of ignition induced by the interaction of an initially planar shock wave with an obstacle in its path. With the aid of pressure measurements, spark schlieren photography and smoked fo

A conventional shock tube was used to accelerate a preignited flame bubble from a circular pipe into a larger vessel. The diffraction of the ensuing shock–jet flame at the abrupt area change was observed by spark and streak schlieren photography. T

Results are presented of ignition delay measurements, over the temperature range 1073–2211 K, obtained by monitoring CH emission from ethylene and propane mixtures. The relative influence of argon and nitrogen as diluents is also investigated. Comp

Two-dimensional reactive Navier-Stokes equations for an acetylene–air mixture are solved numerically to simulate the interaction of a shock wave and an expanding flame front, the formation of a flame brush, and deflagration-to-detonation transition

In this paper, a new experimental technique is described that has been developed to study turbulent premixed flame kernels in the early stages of propagation. The turbulent flow field was generated in a shock tube, using a shock wave to produce a flo
