Suddenly, there's a flash of intense light and heat, followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. Combustion of high explosives is everywhere in popular culture, and it's also critical for ensuring the ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

Researchers have theoretically linked ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, unlocking new configurations for stable, efficient combustion engines due to the possible existence of any ...

This summary provides an elucidation of the complex processes underlying flame acceleration and the subsequent transition to detonation in combustion systems. Flame acceleration, a phenomenon in which ...
