Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the detonation in air containing an \(n\)-heptane droplet cloud and the effect of the droplet size. A finite volume solver is developed to simulate the two-phase reacting compressible flow using a single-step reaction mechanism. The focus is on the impact of the droplet size on the detonation wave pressure and velocity. For the physical situation considered, the upper limit of the droplet size is determined to ensure self-sustained detonation, and it is shown that medium-size droplets initiate a stronger detonation wave than the gas fuel detonation or than large-size droplets. The distribution of the flow properties behind the wave is analyzed to demonstrate the observed behavior of the droplet size.
期刊介绍：
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves a peer reviewed journal published in collaboration with the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal presents top-level studies in the physics and chemistry of combustion and detonation processes, structural and chemical transformation of matter in shock and detonation waves, and related phenomena. Each issue contains valuable information on initiation of detonation in condensed and gaseous phases, environmental consequences of combustion and explosion, engine and power unit combustion, production of new materials by shock and detonation waves, explosion welding, explosive compaction of powders, dynamic responses of materials and constructions, and hypervelocity impact.
