Abstract

It is well known that explosive-based propellants are susceptible to detonation from the controlled deflagration mode of combustion. The work presented here represents an effort to analyze and numerically model the governing equations defining such a transient two-phase reactive flow process. Computer generated results will be presented showing the development of a steady state detonation wave from an accelerating deflagration wave.
