Description

A publicar em "Hyperbolic problems : theory, numerics, applications. Springfield : AIMS, 2014. ISBN 978-1-60133-017-8, p. 407-414. Serie: Applied mathematics, vol. 8" Traveling waves arising in detonation physics are described by the reactive Euler equations obtained in the fluid dynamical limit of the Boltzmann equation for a binary reactive mixture. The hydrodynamic linear stability of the detonation wave solution is investigated with a normal mode analysis. Numerical simulations are performed for both the detonation wave solution and its linear stability.
