In studies on instabilities of flowfield in rotating detonation, one of the most common concerns is the instability at the slip line originating from the conjunction of the detonation wave and oblique shock. Using Euler equations associated with 7-species-and-8-reaction finite-rate chemical reaction model of hydrogen/air mixtures, further studies are performed to simulate the 2-D rotating detonation, and the flow mechanism of instability at the slip line is investigated in depth. The results show that the distinct wake profile exists at the slip line, which is different from the typical mixing layer. Analysis indicates that the generation of wake is caused by the transition shock between the detonation wave and oblique shock. Because of the wake profile, the vorticity distribution therein appears in a double-layer layout, and different evolution exist in different vorticity layers. Based on the velocity profile across the slip line, the analysis by the linear stability theory is made, and two unstable modes which have different shape profiles and phase velocities are found. Discrete Fourier transformation is utilized to analyze the numerical results, and similar shape profiles are obtained. A general coincidence in velocity of vortex movement is also attained between the theoretical predictions and simulations. Investigations show that the wake instability is responsible for the unstable mechanism, and corresponding unstable structures differs from the canonical ones in typical mixing layers.

Instabilities in rotating detonation are concerned because of their potential influence on the stability of operation. Previous studies on instability of 2-D rotating detonation mainly cared about the one of the contact discontinuity originated from the conjunction of the detonation and oblique shock. Hishida et al. first found the rippled structure existed in the interface between fresh injections and burnt product from the previous cycle (Shock Waves 19, 2009), and a mechanism of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability was suggested as well. Similar structures were observed as well in simulations by current authors, where a fifth-order WENO-type scheme with improved resolution and 7-species-and-8-reaction chemical model were used. In order to achieve a deep understanding on the flow mechanism, more careful simulations are carried out by using three grids with increasing resolution. The results show that besides the previously-mentioned Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, there are two other mechanisms which take effect in the interface instability, i.e., the effect of baroclinic torque and Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Occurrence conditions for two instabilities are checked and testified. Especially, the spike- and bubble-like structures are observed at the interface, which show appearances different from canonical structures by Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
A quasi-one-dimensional analytic model is proposed for the internal fluid of rotating detonation combustors (RDCs). This model uses the shock-tube model that constrains the flow to have only a longitudinal component, while admitting the propagation o f the detonation wave in the azimuthal direction. The proposed model is able to compute the thruster performance and two-dimensional distributions of gas properties. The calculation process of the model excludes iterative calculation or space discretization. The case calculations of the hydrogen-air RDC and the ethylene-oxygen RDC are conducted, and the results calculated by the analytic model are compared with those simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Good agreement has been observed between the results obtained with the proposed model and CFD, in terms of both of the qualitative and quantitative comparisons. The proposed model is simple and fast, and also maintains the fundamental characteristics of RDCs.
The present work examines the role of instability and diffusive phenomena in controlling the limits of detonations subject to lateral strain rates. Experiments were conducted in hydrocarbon-oxygen mixtures with varying levels of cellular instability. These detonations were propagated in channels with exponentially enlarging cross-sections, following the recent works of Radulescu & Borzou (2018) and Xiao & Radulescu (2020). Steady detonation waves were obtained at the macro-scale, with the near-limit reaction zone structures characterized by significant unreacted gas pockets. The turbulent flame burning velocity of these pockets was evaluated to be 30 m/s to 70 m/s, which is larger than the theoretical laminar value by a factor of 2 to 7. For all the mixtures tested, the characteristic $D-K$ relationships, relating the detonation mean propagation speed with lateral flow divergence, were obtained directly from experiments and as well from the generalized ZND model with lateral strain rates using detailed chemical kinetics. The results showed that the degree of departure between experiments and the theoretical predictions increases significantly with the detonation instability level. As compared to the laminar ZND wave, the more unstable detonations are much more detonable than the more stable detonations, with substantially larger limiting divergence rates and maximum velocity deficits. Such enhanced detonability with detonation instability can be manifested in the significantly enhanced global rates of energy release with the notably suppressed thermal character of ignition for the more unstable detonations. This globally enhanced burning mechanism is found to be realized by the intensified auto-ignition assisted by the turbulent diffusive burning of the unreacted gas pockets, substantially shortening the characteristic reaction zone lengths.
We reveal and investigate a new type of linear axisymmetric helical magnetorotational instability which is capable of destabilizing viscous and resistive rotational flows with radially increasing angular velocity, or positive shear. This instability is double-diffusive by nature and is different from the more familiar helical magnetorotational instability, operating at positive shear above the Liu limit, in that it works instead for a wide range of the positive shear when ${rm (i)}$ a combination of axial/poloidal and azimuthal/toroidal magnetic fields is applied and ${rm (ii)}$ the magnetic Prandtl number is not too close to unity. We study this instability first with radially local WKB analysis and then confirm its existence using a global stability analysis of the magnetized flow between two rotating cylinders with conducting or insulating boundaries. From an experimental point of view, we also demonstrate the presence of the new instability in a magnetized viscous and resistive Taylor-Couette flow with positive shear for such values of the flow parameters, which can be realized in upcoming experiments at the DRESDYN facility. Finally, this instability might have implications for the dynamics of the equatorial parts of the solar tachocline and dynamo action there, since the above two necessary conditions for the instability to take place are satisfied in this region. Our global stability calculations for the tachocline-like configuration, representing a thin rotating cylindrical layer with the appropriate boundary conditions -- conducting inner and insulating outer cylinders -- and the values of the flow parameters, indicate that it can indeed arise in this case with a characteristic growth time comparable to the solar cycle period.
A one-dimensional discrete Boltzmann model for detonation simulation is presented. Instead of numerical solving Navier-Stokes equations, this model obtains the information of flow field through numerical solving specially discretized Boltzmann equati on. Several classical benchmarks including Sod shock wave tube, Colella explosion problem, and one-dimensional self-sustainable stable detonation are simulated to validate the new model. Based on the new model, the influence of negative temperature coefficient of reaction rate on detonation is further investigated. It is found that an abnormal detonation with two wave heads periodically appears under negative temperature coefficient condition. The causes of the abnormal detonation are analyzed. One typical cycle of the periodic abnormal detonation and its development process are discussed.
