One-dimensional mechanism of gaseous deflagration-to-detonation transition

Résumé

A one-dimensional mechanism of deflagration to detonation transition is identified and investigated by an asymptotic analysis in the double limit of large activation energy and small Mach number of the laminar flame velocity. The unsteady analysis concerns the self-accelerating tip of an elongated flame in a smooth walled tube. The flame on the tip, considered as plane and orthogonal to the tube axis, is pushed from behind by the longitudinal flow resulting from the cumulative effect of the radial flows of burned gas issued from the lateral flame of the finger-like front (called backflow in the following). The analysis of the one-dimensional dynamics is performed by coupling the flame structure with the downstream-running compression waves propagating in the external flows. A critical elongation is identified from which the slightest increase in elongation leads to a pressure runaway producing the flame blow-off. The dynamics of the inner structure of the laminar flame on the tip which is accelerated by the self-induced backflow is characterized by a finite-time singularity of the reacting flow in the form of a dynamical saddle-node bifurcation.
