The rapid, violent detonation of a high explosive (HE) generates supersonic shock waves that transfer energy by moving mass. According to Livermore physicist John Molitoris, trying to gather data on ...

Over the years [Integza] has blown up or melted many types of jet engine, including the humble pulsejet. Earlier improvements revolved around pumping in more fuel, or forced air intakes, but now it’s ...

Scientists analyzed detonation formation in hydrogen/methane air mixtures, quantifying the effect of non-thermal reactions on the mechanism of detonation Small-displacement turbocharged internal ...

Laser Center Hannover (LZH) has developed a laser-based process that can defuse non-transportable, primed munitions ...

Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

Researchers from Tohoku University theoretically established a connection between ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, opening up new possibilities for stable, effective combustion engine ...

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 ...
