Evolution of a detonation wave in a cloud of fuel droplets. II - Influence of fuel droplets
Abstract
This is the second part of an investigation in which the whole problem of energy release in a combustible spray-gas mixture is solved. The influence of the droplet size of the spray on the parameters of the shock waves traveling in the media are delineated. The investigation was able to reveal the mechanism of shock wave reinforcement and to show the source of dynamic instabilities encountered with two-phase detonation processes.
