A modified Zel’dovich-Neumann-Döring model and its peculiarities

A detonation model whose structure includes a shock wave and a continuous combustion zone, where a chemical conversion process is governed by a reaction satisfying a kinetic formulation of the mass action law, is studied. In the framework of this model, the following two types of detonation waves with Lyapunov-stable combustion zones are found: (i) the weak detonation whose speed relative to the equilibrium detonation product flow is equal to the equilibrium speed of sound and (ii) the strong detonation whose speed relative to the flow on the critical surface is equal to the frozen speed of sound (this speed coincides in magnitude with the equilibrium speed). It is shown that the strong detonation corresponds to the condition of tangency between the Mikhelson line and the adiabat of equal sound speeds called the extreme adiabat.     

Theory of the detonation of weak condensed explosives

The possibilities of detonation taking place in a material characterized by a shock adiabatic containing a sharp break (leading to a double shock-wave configuration) are examined. The range of possible velocities D of a self-sustaining detonation in the second shock wave is determined; D may be subsonic with respect to the original material. However, even for an arbitrarily low velocity of sound the range of subsonic D values above the break point on the adiabat is extremely limited: The minimum detonation velocity D_min coincides (apart from a factor of 0.5–0.8) with the velocity of a longitudinal sound wave in the original material below the break point. This limitation with regard to D is associated with the formation of a wave of rarefaction in the reaction products, For D < D_min the shock wave of rarefaction reaches the Jouguet point and breaks the steady-state complex of the detonation wave. The results obtained are valid not only for weak, but also for powerful, explosive substances, if (by virtue of any kind of losses) low-velocity forms of detonation are realized in these materials.     

Head-on Collision of a Detonation with a Planar Shock Wave

The phenomenon that occurs when a Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) detonation collides with a shock wave is discussed. Assuming a one-dimensional steady wave configuration analogous to a planar shock–shock frontal interaction, analytical solutions of the Rankine–Hugoniot relationships for the transmitted detonation and the transmitted shock are obtained by matching the pressure and particle velocity at the contact surface. The analytical results indicate that there exist three possible regions of solutions, i.e. the transmitted detonation can have either strong, weak or CJ solution, depending on the incident detonation and shock strengths. On the other hand, if we impose the transmitted detonation to have a CJ solution followed by a rarefaction fan, the boundary conditions are also satisfied at the contact surface. The existence of these multiple solutions is verified by an experimental investigation. It is found that the experimental results agree well with those predicted by the second wave interaction model and that the transmitted detonation is a CJ detonation. Unsteady numerical simulations of the reactive Euler equations with both simple one-step Arrhenius kinetic and chain-branching kinetic models are also carried out to look at the transient phenomena and at the influence of a finite reaction thickness of a detonation wave on the problem of head-on collision with a shock. From all the computational results, a relaxation process consisting of a quasi-steady period and an overshoot for the transmitted detonation subsequent to the head-on collisions can be observed, followed by the asymptotic decay to a CJ detonation as predicted theoretically. For unstable pulsating detonations, it is found that, due to the increase in the thermodynamic state of the reactive mixture caused by the shock, the transmitted pulsating detonation can become more stable with smaller amplitude and period oscillation. These observations are in good agreement with experimental evidence obtained from smoked foils where there is a significant decrease in the detonation cell size after a region of relaxation when the detonation collides head-on with a shock wave.     

正向爆轰驱动高焓激波风洞的数值模拟

对充满氢氧可燃气体、带扩容腔的正向爆轰驱动的激波风洞进行了数值模拟。计算采用了欧拉方程,频散可控耗散差分格式（DCD）和改进的二阶段化学反应模型。在扩容腔附近采用二维轴对称计算模型,而在驱动段和被驱动段的直管道部分则采用一维计算模型。本文分析了爆轰波在管道中的传播、反射和绕射过程。计算结果表明扩容腔的尺寸对爆轰波的传播、反射、汇聚等起着决定性的作用;带扩容腔的正向爆轰驱动的激波风洞能够得到平稳的持续时间较长的气流,提高了实验的精确度和可重复性。     

On the response of rubbers at high strain rates—II. Shock waves

In this series of papers, we examine the propagation of waves of finite deformation in rubbers through experiments and analysis; in the present paper, Part II, attention is focused on the propagation of one-dimensional tensile shock waves in strips of latex and nitrile rubber. Tensile wave propagation experiments were conducted at high strain rates by holding one end fixed and displacing the other end at a constant velocity. A high-speed video camera was used to monitor the motion and to determine the evolution of strain and particle velocity in rubber strips. Shock waves have been generated under tensile impact in prestretched rubber strips; analysis of the response yields the tensile shock adiabat for rubbers. The propagation of shocks is analyzed by developing an analogy with the theory of detonation; it is shown that the condition for shock propagation can be determined using the Chapman-Jouguet shock condition.     

Transition of plane overdriven detonation wave to the Chapman-Jouguet regime

The asymptotic laws of behavior for plane, cylindrical, and spherical infinitely thin detonation waves were found in [1, 2] for increasing distance from an igniting source in those cases in which the waves changed into Chapman-Jouguet waves as they decayed. It was shown that the plane overdriven detonation wave approaches the Chapman-Jouguet regime asymptotically, while the transition of the cylindrical or spherical strong detonation wave into the Chapman-Jouguet wave may occur at a finite distance from the initiation source.Similar conclusions are valid for the propagation of stationary steadystate detonation waves which arise with flow of combustible gas mixtures past bodies.However, numerous experiments [3, 4] on firing bodies in a detonating gas show that the overdriven detonation wave which forms ahead of the body decays and decomposes into an ordinary compression shock and a slow combustion front. To establish why the wave does not make the transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime, in the following we consider the propagation of a plane detonation wave and account for finite chemical reaction rates. We use the very simple two-front model (ordinary shock wave and following flame front). Conditions are found for which transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime does not occur. We first consider the propagation of an unsteady plane wave and then the steady plane wave. It is found that for all the mixtures used in these experiments transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime is not possible within the framework of the assumed model.     

圆球诱发斜爆轰波的数值研究

斜爆轰发动机是飞行器在高马赫数飞行条件下的一种新型发动机,具有结构简单、成本低和比冲高等优点.但是斜爆轰发动机的来流马赫数范围广,来流条件复杂,为实现斜爆轰波的迅速、可靠引发,采用钝头体来诱发.利用Euler方程和氢氧基元反应模型,对超声速氢气/空气混合气体中圆球诱导的斜爆轰流场进行了数值研究.不同于楔面诱发的斜爆轰波,球体首先会在驻点附近诱发正激波/爆轰波,然后在稀疏波作用下发展为斜激波/爆轰波.模拟结果显示,经过钝头体压缩的预混气体达到自燃温度后,会出现两种流场:当马赫数较低时,由于稀疏波的影响,燃烧熄灭,钝头体下游不会出现燃烧情况;而当马赫数较高时,燃烧阵面能传到下游.分析表明,当钝头体的尺度较小时,驻点附近的能量不足以诱发爆轰波,只会形成明显的燃烧带与激波非耦合结构;当钝头体的尺度较大时,流场中不会出现燃烧带与激波的非耦合现象,且这一特征与马赫数无关.通过调整球体直径,获得了激波和燃烧带部分耦合的燃烧流场结构,这一流场结构在楔面诱发的斜爆轰波中并不存在,说明稀疏波与爆轰波面的相互作用是决定圆球诱发斜爆轰波的关键.     

气体-燃料液滴两相系统爆轰的数值模拟

用两相流体力学模型对气体 燃料液滴系统进行了研究。数值模拟了点火后两相系统爆轰波的发展过程，得到爆轰波的结构和参数。数值模拟结果表明气体 燃料液滴系统爆轰波有较宽的反应区，因而两相爆轰波的曲率对爆速的影响效应十分明显。进行了燃料液滴尺寸对爆轰波的结构和参数的影响的数值模拟。除了很小的液滴外，燃料液滴在爆轰波前导激波面和ＣＪ面间不能完全气化。随着液滴尺寸的增加，燃料液滴在爆轰波前导激波面和ＣＪ面间释放出的能量随之减少，爆轰参数也随之下降。     

气相爆轰波冲击气固界面的透反射特性

为了研究气相爆轰波冲击气固界面过程中透射波和反射波的相关特性,建立爆轰波冲击气固界面的一维理论模型,对不同初始压力条件下爆轰波到达气固界面后的界面两侧的压力和界面速度变化进行分析。利用时空守恒元求解元方法对气相爆轰波冲击气固界面过程进行数值模拟,分析气体部分反射波的压力分布和速度变化规律及透射入固体中应力波的波形和波速特征,并搭建气相爆轰波冲击活塞实验装置进行进一步验证。结果表明:气体爆轰波到达气固界面后,在固体中透射指数形式的弹性波,并在界面处向气体区反射一道激波。爆轰波后的稀疏波与反射激波相交,削弱反射激波,最终形成稳定激波回传。气固界面在稀疏波和反射稀疏波的作用下,压力和速度逐渐下降,最终也形成稳定状态。在不同混气初始压力情况下,爆轰波冲击过程中产生的最高压力和爆压的比值基本保持不变。理论模型对特征点相关物理量的计算值和实验数据符合的较好。     

用环形激波聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆的数值模拟

利用基元反应模型和有限体积法对环形激波在可燃气体中聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆进行了数值模拟。研究结果表明，标准状态下的氢气-空气混合气体在马赫数为3.1以上的环形激波聚焦产生的高温高压区作用下会诱发可燃气体的直接起爆形成爆轰波，爆轰波与激波和接触间断相互作用产生了复杂的波系结构；爆轰波爆点位置在对称轴上并不是固定的点，而是随着初始激波马赫数的变化而发生移动；可燃气体初始温度和压力对起爆临界马赫数都有影响，但是初始温度的影响大得多。     

含铝炸药能量释放的简化模型

为了在水下爆炸效应中反映出非理想爆轰特性的影响,建立了含铝炸药非理想爆轰能量释放的简化模型。该模型以CJ爆轰理论和二次反应理论为基础,把含铝炸药化学反应划分为快速反应和慢速反应,以释放的化学能和慢反应速率常数作为非理想特征参数,并应用于一维数值模拟。计算结果与基本实验结果一致,冲击波峰值的计算误差不大于10％,衰减时间常数的误差小于5％,冲击波能与实验值也具有良好的一致性。简化模型合理地描述了含铝炸药非理想爆轰的主要过程及非理想特性,可应用于含铝炸药的设计和爆炸效应的分析。     

爆轰波通过扩张喷管的双曝光全息实验和数值研究

结合实验和数值模拟方法,对以脉冲爆轰发动机为背景的爆轰波通过扩张喷管的流动进行了系列研究。实验采用双曝光全息干涉方法对爆轰波绕射流场进行测量,得到了比传统的纹影法更清晰和可定量化的照片。发展了基于非结构四边形网格自适应有限体积程序,结合基元化学反应模型对扩张喷管中爆轰化学反应流场进行了数值模拟,模拟结果与实验照片吻合较好。实验和数值模拟结果表明,爆轰波绕射具有许多和激波绕射不同的流场特征,其中包括二次起爆现象、化学反应面与前导激波相脱离而引起的复杂流场等,同时初始压力和扩张角度变化也对爆轰波绕射过程产生较大影响,初始压力越低,化学反应区和前导激波分离现象越明显,且前导激波的曲率越大。     

Reinitiation process of detonation wave behind a slit-plate

The propagation phenomenon of a detonation wave is particularly interesting, because the detonation wave is composed of a 3D shock wave system accompanied by a reaction front. Thus, the passage of a detonation wave draws cellular patterns on a soot-covered plate. The pressure and temperature behind the detonation wave are extremely high and may cause serious damages around the wave. Therefore, it is of great significance from a safety-engineering point of view to decay the detonation wave with a short distance from the origin. In the present study, experiments using high-speed schlieren photography are conducted in order to investigate the behaviors of the detonation wave diffracting from two slits. The detonation wave produced in a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is propagated through the slits, and the behaviors behind the slit-plate are investigated experimentally. When a detonation wave diffracts from the slits, a shock wave is decoupled with a reaction front. Since the two shock waves propagate from the slits interact with each other at the center behind the plate, the detonation wave is reinitiated by generating a hot-spot sufficient to cause local explosions. Furthermore, it is clarified that the shock wave reflected from a tube-wall is also capable of reinitiating the detonation wave. The reinitiation distance of the detonation wave from the slit-plate is correlated using a number of cells emerged from each slit.      

锥形长药柱水下爆炸冲击波参数计算方法

为了计算锥形长药柱水下爆炸冲击波压力,以及研究长脉宽冲击波的传输特性,基于叠加原理建立了冲击波压力-时间曲线的计算方法,通过实验验证了该方法的有效性,在此基础上分析了锥形长药柱不同方位冲击波压力的分布规律。研究结果表明:锥形长药柱产生的冲击波压力具有各向异性,在起爆端一侧形成的是具有厚波头特征的低幅值长脉宽冲击波,在装药径向形成的是接近指数衰减的高幅值冲击波,而在远离起爆端的冲击波压力幅值和脉宽则介于前两者之间。锥形长药柱与球形装药冲击波分布的差异是由于装药形状和起爆方式的改变所导致的,由于装药不同部位起爆的时间差,导致水下爆炸冲击波在不同位置的叠加效果存在明显差异,药柱周围流场中形成的冲击波压力具有方向性。利用提出的计算方法得到的计算结果与实验结果和数值模拟结果吻合较好,研究结果可为锥形长药柱水下爆炸冲击波威力场和毁伤评估提供参考和依据。     

Behavior of detonation waves at low pressures

With respect to stability of gaseous detonations, unsteady behavior of galloping detonations and re-initiation process of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures are studied using a detonation tube of 14 m in length and 45 mm i.d. The arrival of the shock wave and the reaction front is detected individually by a double probe combining of a pressure and an ion probe. The experimental results show that there are two different types of the re-initiation mechanism. One is essentially the same as that of deflagration to detonation transition in the sense that a shock wave generated by flame acceleration causes a local explosion. From calculated values of ignition delay behind the shock wave decoupled from the reaction front, the other is found to be closely related with spontaneous ignition. In this case, the fundamental propagation mode shows a spinning detonation. Received 10 March 1997 / Accepted 8 June 1997     

超音速来流中爆轰波衍射和二次起爆过程研究

预爆管技术被广泛地应用在爆轰波发动机的起爆过程中，但是在超音速来流中基于预爆管技术起始爆轰波的研究并未被广泛地开展。基于此，本文中数值研究了横向超音速来流对半自由空间内爆轰波的衍射和自发二次起爆、及管道内的衍射和壁面反射二次起爆两种现象的影响。数值模拟的控制方程为二维欧拉方程，空间上使用五阶WENO格式进行数值离散，采用带有诱导步的两步链分支化学反应模型。所模拟的爆轰波具有规则的胞格结构，对应于用惰性气体高度稀释过的可爆混合物中形成的爆轰波。结果表明:在半自由空间内，在本文所模拟的几何尺寸下，爆轰波并未成功发生二次起爆现象，但是爆轰波的自持传播距离随着横向超音速来流强度的增强而增加。在核心的三角形流动区域外，波面诱导产生了更多的横波结构；在管道内，横向的超音速来流在逆流侧对出口气流产生了压缩作用，能有效提高波面压力，因此反射后的激波压力也比较高。在同样的几何尺寸下，爆轰波在静止和超音速(Ma=2.0)气流中分别出现了二次起爆失败和成功两种现象，这是由于在超音速来流中化学反应面的褶皱诱导产生了横波结构，横波与管壁以及其他横波之间的碰撞提高了前导激波的强度，并最终促进了爆轰波在超声速流主管道内的成功起始。

高速弹丸诱导斜爆轰激波结构实验研究

斜爆轰推进系统在高超声速推进领域具有广阔的应用前景,其释热迅速、比冲高、燃烧室结构简单的优点吸引研究人员的持续关注.然而,斜爆轰的地面试验同时涉及到高速试验环境模拟、燃料与氧化剂混合、高温燃烧流场结构测量等技术难点,当前国内外系统的试验研究仍然十分有限,难以支撑斜爆轰发动机的研制.为了研究自持传播的斜爆轰激波结构与波面流动特性,基于爆轰驱动二级轻气炮开展了高速弹丸诱导斜爆轰实验研究,使用直径30 mm球头圆柱形弹丸发射进入充满氢/氧可燃混合气体的实验舱中以起爆斜爆轰波,并采用两种阴影技术对实验流动结构进行测量.实验中在不同速度、不同充气压力下观察到三种弹丸诱导激波结构,即激波诱导燃烧、弹丸起爆爆轰波和相对弹丸驻定的斜爆轰波,实验舱充气压力下降则会造成爆轰横波尺度增加与波面流动失稳.实验中,斜爆轰激波角与理论分析结果吻合较好,弹丸气动不稳定带来较大的弹丸攻角会对激波角测量带来一定偏差.通过对斜爆轰波波面法向传播速度的测量发现,随着远离弹丸,斜爆轰传播速度由弹丸飞行速度衰减至接近实验气体CJ速度,弹丸速度的降低会加速斜爆轰波传播速度的衰减.     

爆轰波与激波对撞的实验研究

对乙炔氧气混合气体中爆轰波与激波的正面对撞现象的实验研究是以高速摄影获取两波对撞的x-t纹影图,以烟迹板记录对撞中的爆轰胞格图案,并基于激波理论和经典CJ爆轰理论求解了两波对撞的稳态解并探寻其规律. 研究发现透射波系包括一道激波和爆轰波,以及紧随爆轰波后的稀疏波区,这一结果对应于一维理论分析中的CJ解. 透射波系基本不受初始压强影响;初始温度也只成比例地改变流场整体速度,温度越高,速度越快;对波系起实质影响作用的是入射激波强度,激波越强,则整个透射流场呈现偏向激波的趋势;理论分析还指出,稀疏波区的出现不可避免,当激波强度趋于声波稀疏波区趋于消失,激波越强则疏波区趋于扩大. 两波对撞存在一个有限的转变阶段,透射爆轰首先减缓,接着迅速迸发为过驱爆轰,然后再逐渐平衡为CJ爆轰. 对于强不稳定的燃气,对撞后爆轰波在空间上的发展极不均衡,一些区域发生火焰面与诱导激波的严重脱离,随后的火焰面失稳发展为诱导激波区内的爆轰波,实验观察到了这种爆轰在烟迹板上留下的极为精细的迹线.
