Abstract

The effects of vibrational non-equilibrium and vibration–chemistry coupling on hydrogen–air detonation are numerically investigated by solving reactive Euler equations coupled with a multiple vibrational temperature-based model. Detailed hydrogen–air reaction kinetic is utilized, Landau–Teller model is adopted to solve the vibrational relaxation process, and the coupled vibration–chemistry vibration model is used to evaluate the vibration–chemistry coupling. It is shown that the relaxation process and vibration–chemistry coupling considerably influence the hydrogen–air detonation structure, highlighting the importance of correct treatment of vibrational non-equilibrium in detonation simulations.
