The perturbation on initial binding energy for a Majda-CJ combustion model

We investigate the perturbed Riemann problem for a scalar Chapman–Jouguet combustion model – the perturbation on initial binding energy. Under the entropy conditions, we obtain the unique solutions in a neighbourhood of the origin (t?>?0) on the (x,?t) plane. It is found that, for some cases, the perturbed Riemann solutions are essentially different from the corresponding Riemann solutions. That is, the perturbation may transform a Chapman–Jouguet detonation into a strong detonation or a weak deflagration following a shock wave; a strong detonation into a weak deflagration following a shock wave; a Chapman–Jouguet deflagration into a weak deflagration.
