Suddenly, there's a flash of intense light and heat, followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. Combustion of high explosives is everywhere in popular culture, and it's also critical for ensuring the ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

The relationships between distance from inlet boundary and inlet velocity for stoichiometric methane-air mixtures. The open circle-shaped markers mean that the inlet velocity is the same with the ...

This summary provides an elucidation of the complex processes underlying flame acceleration and the subsequent transition to detonation in combustion systems. Flame acceleration, a phenomenon in which ...

A startup high-speed flight company from Houston, Texas, has successfully tested its Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) ultimately aimed at allowing travel at four to six times the speed of ...

Flame propagation and gas explosion dynamics constitute a crucial research area, intersecting fluid dynamics, combustion chemistry, and heat transfer. This field examines the complex interplay between ...
