Abstract

The chapter is dedicated to the numerical investigation of the grid resolution influence on the detonation initiation process in the multifocused system with the profiled end-wall. Two-dimensional system of Euler equations coupled with the single-step Arrhenius kinetic reaction mechanism was solved on completely unstructured triangular grid using the numerical scheme of second approximation order. The important technical features of interaction with SALOME software used to build an unstructured triangular computational grid, including differences in the results of the triangulation algorithms, are discussed. The content of the structure elements of the output file format CGNS of SALOME is considered. The mechanisms of detonation initiation in the multifocused system are investigated. The grid convergence problem and the influence of the resolution on flow structures are considered.
