A stabilization mechanism for the low-velocity gaseous detonations with losses

ORAL

Abstract

Using the reactive Euler equations, we investigate numerically the nonlinear stability of steady-state one-dimensional gaseous detonations in the presence of both momentum and heat losses. Our results point to a possible stabilization mechanism for the low-velocity detonations in such systems. The mechanism stems from the existence of a one-parameter family of steady-state solutions found in Semenko et al. \textit{Shock Waves}, 26(2), 141-160, 2016.
