The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...

A detonation wave is a chemical reaction wave propagating at the velocity of a shock wave along the explosive charge. There is great demand for a detonation model that can accurately simulate the ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

Safe and effective high explosives are critical to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL) mission of stockpile stewardship. It is relatively simple to study the composition of such material ...

When most people picture explosions, they probably imagine a huge ball of expanding gas, perhaps with an action hero just barely outrunning the leading edge. In reality, though, there are two types of ...

For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

A Texas-based startup just made aviation history. The company completed the first U.S. flight test of a next-generation rocket engine that could be transformational for both hypersonic weaponry and ...

PORTLAND, Oregon — Interstate 205 in West Linn has reopened around the Abernethy Bridge after contractors performed a controlled detonation west of Highway 43 Thursday morning. The Oregon Department ...
