Numerical Simulation of the Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in Inhomogeneous Mixtures

In this study the hazardous potential of flammable hydrogen-air mixtures with vertical concentration gradients is investigated numerically. The computational model is based on the formulation of a reaction progress variable and accounts for both deflagrative flame propagation and autoignition. The m...
