Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. It is a typical form of pressure gain combustion, ...

Detonation loading in cylindrical structures is a complex phenomenon that involves the rapid exposure of components to high-pressure shock waves generated by explosive events. This process not only ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers analyzed the centuries-old remains of supernova ...

Type Ia supernovae are critical tools in astronomy, since they all appear to explode with the same intensity, allowing us to use their brightness as a measure of distance. The distance measures ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times the mass of our sun that exhausts its ...
