Towards predicting Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in smooth channels

In The Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, Tom Alzer's study "Towards predicting Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in Smooth Channels“ by using highly resolved LES is available online now.

Novelty and significance statement: There are few attempts to predict Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition (DDT) in smooth channels using 3D simulation, and almost no meaningful comparison to experimental evidence. We attempt to fill this gap and present a modelling strategy that constitutes significant progress in modelling DDT.
