フィルムデトネーション波開始過程の可視化(流体工学, 流体機械)

The detonation wave caused by the combustion of a liquid fuel film coated on an inner tube wall has recently attracted considerable attention because of its possible role in explosion hazards in compressed oxygen pipelines. This type of detonation is known as "film detonation" and is classified as a heterogeneous detonation. The structure of a heterogeneous detonation wave is very complex because physical processes such as momentum, heat and mass exchanges between liquid film and the gas phase are coupled with a chemical reaction. Experiments are conducted to investigate the initiation process of film detonation using high-speed schlieren photography and direct photography. It is clearly observed that a secondary shock wave caused by the combustion of liquid fuel film plays a significant role in the transition of film detonation wave.
