On a stabilization mechanism for low velocity detonations

Fluid Dynamics 2017-04-05 v1

Abstract

We use numerical simulations of the reactive Euler equations to analyze the nonlinear stability of steady-state one-dimensional solutions for gaseous detonations in the presence of both momentum and heat losses. Our results point to a possible stabilization mechanism for the low velocity detonations in such systems. The mechanism stems from the existence of a one-parameter family of solutions found in Semenko et al. (Shock Waves 26 (2), 141-160, 2016).
