Introduction
• Detonation waves are supersonic combustion waves
– Compression waves (p1~=20p0)
– Supersonic (M~=6)
• Practical applications include
– Detonation arrestors
– Pulse detonation engines
• Fundamental theory on detonations
– Zel’dovich-von Neumann-Doering (ZND) Theory

Propagation mechanism
• Real detonations are different from ideal model
– 3D, transient, unsteady, cellular
– Multiple shock structure
– K-H, R-M instabilities, forward jet
• What is the propagation mechanism?
– Adiabatic shock compression
– Turbulent mixing
• Mechanisms involved in the detonation cell evolution

Diffraction around obstacles
• Detonation diffraction around an obstacle
– Quenches detonation wave
– Forms a decoupled shock-flame complex
– Shock front reflects to form a Mach reflection
• Benefits of detonation diffracting around obstacles
– Improve temporal and spatial resolutions
– More reproducible
– Retain main features of cellular gas dynamics
• Adopt technique to study re-initiation mechanisms

Objective
• Past results have identified several ignition mechanisms
– Adiabatic shock compression behind Mach stem,
– Kelvin-Helmholtz instability along the slipline,
– Richtmyer-Meshkov instability along the flame,
– Rapid combustion behind transverse wave
– The strong forward jetting of slipline behind Mach stem
• However, the key re-ignition mechanisms leading to re-initiation have not yet been clarified
• Isolate re-ignition mechanisms that lead to re-initiation following a Mach reflection of a shock-flame complex

Detonation re-initiation

Conclusion
• Forward jetting behind the Mach stem was found to be an important mechanism in increasing combustion rates
• For sufficiently strong Mach stem, re-initiation first appears along the Mach stem
• Rapid ignition of the tongue of unburnt gas via turbulent mixing (shock ignition, KH instability) could lead to re-initiation of transverse wave
