Gaseous detonation dynamics • Multiscale and multiphysics problem • Some important critical issues • Role of turbulence in chemical reaction • Prediction of critical parameters • Initiation energy • Critical diffraction diameter • Minimum tube diameter • Key computational problems • Known but very large reaction mechanisms • Turbulent flow in portions of reaction zone ASCI-ASAP Research Review October 23-24, 2002
Goals Simulate the detonation process in three dimensions, with viscous effects, and a realistic reaction model that represents a fuel-oxidizer system of moderate complexity • Issues • Role of turbulence in reaction zone • origin of detonation substructure • regular vs. irregular cellular structure • Role of instability in: • Initiation • Diffraction • Interaction with structures ASCI-ASAP Research Review October 23-24, 2002
