Notes:
Using the ability of the method of characteristics to evaluate shock fronts in an accurate manner, a formulation is presented which incorporates the effect of rapid exothermic chemical reactions in the flow. The formulation is applied to the computation of the unsteady reactive flow field behind a cylindrial expanding blast wave propagating in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Details of the computational procedure are described. Results are presented for a sample problem and compared with those for the non-reactive case to illustrate the influence of chemical reactions.
