Mathematical Sciences: Wave Motion In (Primarily) Reactive Fluids Induced By Rapid Energy Deposition

首席研究员计划对化学反应等大量能量输入驱动的流动进行建模和分析，同时考虑到预混燃烧和蒸汽爆炸。爆炸可以通过各种方式在实验中实现。这个项目的一个目标是通过考虑高频干扰和脉冲、现实化学和不均匀的影响来对可能的爆炸途径进行分类。例如，限制燃烧造成的环境污染和可燃材料运输的必要性要求对燃烧过程有更好的理解。

The principal investigator plans to model and analyze flows driven by substantial energy inputs such as chemical reactions, having in mind premixed combustion and vapor explosions. Detonation can be achieved experimentally in various ways. One goal of this project is to classify the possible routes to detonation by considering the affect of high-frequency disturbances and pulses, realistic chemistry, and inhomogeneities. The necessity of limiting combustion-caused environmental pollution and the transportation of combustible materials, for example, require an improved understanding of the process of combustion.
