The same process is likely to occur in supernovas, which are exploding stars in simple terms,\u201d Ahmed says. \u201cWe\u2019re taking a relatively slow flame to where it\u2019s propagating at five times the speed of sound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The researcher uncovered the universal criteria for a transition to detonation while exploring methods for hypersonic jet propulsion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe explore these supersonic burning regimes for propulsion, and we came across this mechanism that looked very interesting,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen we started to dig deeper, we realized that this can be general enough to be applied to astrophysical explosions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The key is applying the right amount of turbulence to an unconfined flame until starts to generate shocks and self-accelerate to produce a Mach 5 detonation wave.<\/p>\n<p>Applications for the discovery could include faster air and space travel and improved power generation. The discovery was made by using a unique turbulent shock tube that allowed explosions to be created and analyzed in a contained environment. Ultra-high-speed lasers and cameras were used to measure the explosions and help indicate what factors were needed to reach the point where a flame transitions to a detonation.<\/p>\n<p>The turbulent shock tube facility was developed at UCF\u2019s Propulsion and Energy Research Laboratory for testing hypersonic combustion regimes.<\/p>\n<p>Co-authors of the study were Alexei Y. Poludnenko, an associate professor in the University of Connecticut\u2019s Department of Mechanical Engineering and the study\u2019s lead author; Jessica Chambers, a doctoral student in UCF\u2019s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; Vadim N. Gamezo, with the Naval Research Laboratory; and Brian D. Taylor, with the Air Force Research Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>The research was supported with funding from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Computing resources were provided by the U.S. Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program\u00a0under the Frontier project award, and by the Naval Research Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed earned his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from University at Buffalo \u2013 The State University of New York.
