DRDL @ ICDERS 2013
Last week, Logan Maley, Hesam Akbarnejad, Maha Manoubi and myself were attending the ICDERS conference in Taipei, Taiwan. Maha, Matei, Hesam and Logan Structure of high speed deflagrations, DDT and self-generated turbulence Logan presented his study on the structure of supersonic turbulent deflagrations and DDT. Strong pressure waves are driven by the rapid ignition of hot-spots. The driven hydrodynamic instabilities along shear layers permit to rapidly burn the gases. Onset of detonation in a Ch4-O2 high speed deflagration A detonation in the detonation ? Very similar to self-sustained detonations, just slower. The session was closed by a panel discussion on DDT. The concept of self-turbulization of the flame came out as the outstanding theme for future research. Logan pursued discussions with Joe Shepherd... Hesam on bimetallic flames Hesam presented his thesis work on the flame speed in bi-metallic mixtu...
