Numerical simulation of DDT process of aviation kerosene one-component alternative fuel

Abstract

Aiming at the difficulty of numerical simulation of the DDT process during the detonation combustion of aviation kerosene, this paper has presented a single-component simplified mechanism of aviation kerosene to carry out the numerical simulation of the DDT detonation process. By simplifying the detailed mechanism of n-decane, the simplified mechanism of RP-3 aviation kerosene single-component alternative fuel was obtained, and the DDT process of aviation kerosene was numerically simulated, and the influence law of the obstacle blocking ratio and arrangement mode on the DDT process was analyzed. The results show that the simplified mechanism model for the single-component alternative fuel can better fit the combustion characteristics of aviation kerosene under high temperature and pressure. The numerical simulation results of the DDT process are analyzed, and it is found that the DDT time will increase with the increasing of blocking ratio. The DDT time at the same blocking ratio is shorter when the obstacles are symmetrically distributed.
