Combustion of layered SHS systems: Thermal conditions at the interface

Abstract

Combustion of two-layer SHS systems was numerically modeled in order to shed new light on the stability of a combustion wave passing through the interface between two reactive heterogeneous systems. Thermal conditions at the interface have been numerically calculated for all stages of a transient process taking place at the interface, with special emphasis on the influence of a gaseous gap between the constituent green pellets.
