Abstract
The paper presents results of numerical and experimental investigation of mixture ignition and detonation onset in shock wave reflected from inside a wedge. Contrary to existing opinion of shock wave focusing being the mechanism for detonation onset in reflection from a wedge or cone, it was demonstrated that along with the main scenario there exists a transient one, under which focusing causes ignition and successive flame acceleration bringing to detonation onset far behind the reflected shock wave. Several different flow scenarios manifest in reflection of shock waves all being dependent on incident shock wave intensity: reflecting of shock wave with lagging behind combustion zone, formation of detonation wave in reflection and focusing, and intermediate transient regimes. Comparison of numerical and experimental results made it possible to validate the developed 3-D transient mathematical model of chemically reacting gas mixture flows incorporating hydrogen – air mixtures.
