| contents | In this paper, 3D detonation numerical studies are conducted using reactive Euler equations in both straight and curved channels. These simulations are compared to investigate the response of detonation to curvature within infinitely long square ducts. The influence of the inner wall radius, cross-section size, and activation energy (Ea) on wave structures, pressure distributions, and velocity are carefully described. The results for detonation waves with low Ea in narrow ducts show that, in straight ducts, it typically exhibits rectangular or diagonal modes which depends on the initial perturbations. However, when propagating in curved ducts, the waves display significantly different patterns and curvature sensitive velocity deficits. For sufficient small radii, due to the compression and expansion in the lateral direction, an initial diagonal perturbation may transit into rectangular mode. For detonation waves with low Ea in wide ducts, mode transition may happen even for rectangular perturbations. An out-of-phase rectangular mode first appears, followed by the twisting of the transverse waves until a diagonal mode develops. The corresponding curved case shows that only one pair of transverse waves on each wall. Furthermore, the cellular patterns become irregular with increasing Ea: in the straight duct, the cells seem more randomly distributed; in curved duct, small cells are observed on the outer wall, while large-scale wave motions are noted on the inner wall, as a result of mixture with high Ea is more sensitive to the perturbations. The current results indicate that a fully developed detonation wave in a continuously curved duct is significantly affected by substantial compression and velocity deficit, which alter the wave structures. |
