Numerical Simulation of Plane and Cellular Detonation Wave Suppression in Hydrogen-Air Mixture by Inert Porous Filters

摘要

Calculations of the interaction of plane (one-dimensional) and cellular (two-dimensional) detonation waves in hydrogen-air mixture with inert filters were carried out on the basis of the proposed physical and mathematical models, based on the detailed and reduced kinetics, describing such processes. The realized detonation regimes of attenuation and suppression of detonation were revealed. Comparison of results obtained by detailed and reduced kinetics showed that reduced kinetics gives overestimated detonation velocities compared to the detailed kinetics. But the obtained concentration limits of detonation practically equal to each other for both kinetics models. Comparison of processes of attenuation and suppression of plane and cellular detonation showed that the suppression of cellular detonation is more difficult to achieve compared to a plane detonation wave. Detonation failure criterion that shows that at the increasing the filter particles diameter, it is necessary to increase the volume concentration proportionally in order to successfully suppress detonation both in the case of a plane detonation wave and in the case of cellular detonation, was obtained.
