Stability of detonation profiles in the ZND limit (Q717460): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with the 1-dimensional reactive Navier-Stokes equations and investigates the stability of profiles for a class of models. It confirms the conjecture that (linear and nonlinear) stability in the limit is equivalent to viscous stability of the component Neumann shock profile together with hyperbolic stability of the associated ZND detonations; this yields a number of numerical stability and bifurcation results through the extensive numerical literature on spectral stability.
