Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The bound states of two interacting two-dimensional magnetoexcitons with electrons and holes on the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) moving in-plane of the layer with equal but opposite oriented wave vectors and forming a molecular-type structures with the resultant wave vector (k) over right arrow = 0 were investigated. Four possible spin structures of two electrons and of two holes forming the bound states were considered. Two of them lead to the formation of the para and ortho magnetoexcitons in the presence of the electron-hole (e-h) Coulomb exchange interaction. In this case we have studied the interaction of two para magnetoexcitons and of two ortho magnetoexcitons with the resultant spin equal to zero. Another two variant, are actual when the Coulomb exchange e-h interaction is negligible small and the spin of two electrons separately and the effective spin of two holes are interconected and forms the singlet or the triplet states with zero spin projections on the magnetic field direction. The spin states of the four particles were constructed combining the singlet two electron state with the singlet two hole state as well as the triplet two electron state with the triplet two hole state. Only the bound states of two electrons and of two holes with singlet-singlet and with triplet-triplet spin structures were studied. It was shown that the spin structure of the type singlet-triplet and triplet-singlet do not exist due to the hidden symmetry of the magnetoexcitons. The orbital structure of the 2D magnetoexciton with wave vector (k) over right arrow not equal 0 is similar with an in-plane electric dipole with the dipole moment perpendicularly oriented to the wave vector. The bimagnetoexciton with resultant wave vector (k) over right arrow = 0 is composed from two antiparallel oriented electric dipoles moving with antiparallel wave vectors (k) over right arrow not equal 0 Their relative motion in the frame of the bound states is characterized by the variational wave functions phi(n) ((k) over right arrow) depending on the modulus vertical bar(k) over right arrow vertical bar. It was shown that the stable bound state in the lowest Landau levels approximation do not exist in four investigated spin combinations. Instead of them a deep metastable bound state with an activation barrier comparable with the ionization potential of the magnetoexciton with (k) over right arrow = 0 was revealed in the triplet-triplet spin configuration. Its orbital structure in the momentum space representation is characterized by the maximal exciton density on the in-plane ring and with zero density in the center.

- The possible formation of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic biexcitons composed of two 2D magnetoexcitons with electrons and holes on the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) with opposite center-of-mass wave vectors (k)over-right-arrow and -(k)over-right-arrow and with antiparallel electric dipole moments perpendicular to the corresponding wave vectors was investigated. Two spinor structures of two electrons and of two holes were considered. In the singlet-singlet state the spins of two electrons as well as the effective spins of two holes create the combinations with the total spin S = 0 and its projection on the magnetic field S-z = 0. The triplet-triplet state corresponds to S = 1 and S-z = 0. Two orbital Gaussian variational wave functions depending on vertical bar(k)over-right-arrow vertical bar and describing the relative motion of two magnetoexcitons inside the molecule were used. Analytical calculations show that in the LLLs approximation the stable bound states of bimagnetoexcitons do not exist, but there is a metastable bound state with the orbital wave function, having the maximum on the in-plane ring for the triplet-triplet spin configuration. The metastable bound state has an energy activation barrier comparable with the magnetoexciton ionization potential and gives rise to the new luminescence band due to the metastable biexciton-para exciton conversion with the frequencies higher than those of the para magnetoexciton luminescence line.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The possible existence of the bound states of the interacting two-dimensional (2D) magnetoexcitons in the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) approximation was investigated using the Landau gauge description. The magnetoexcitons taking part in the formation of the bound state with resultant wave vector have opposite in-plane wave vectors and and look as two electric dipoles with the arms oriented in-plane perpendicularly to the corresponding wave vectors. The bound state of two antiparallel dipoles moving with equal probability in any direction of the plane with equal but antiparallel wave vectors is characterized by the variational wave function of the relative motion depending on the modulus . The spins of two electrons and the effective spins of two holes forming the bound states were combined separately in the symmetric or in the antisymmetric forms with the same parameter for electrons and holes. In the case of the variational wave function the maximum density of the magnetoexcitons in the momentum space representation is concentrated on the in-plane ring with the radius The stable bound states of the bimagnetoexciton molecule do not exist for both spin orientations. Instead of them, a deep metastable bound state with the activation barrier comparable with the ionization potential of the magnetoexciton with was revealed in the case and . In the case and only a shallow metastable bound state can appear.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Chern-Simons (CS) gauge field theory was widely used to explain and to deeper understand the fractional quantum Hall effects. In this work, we apply the Chern-Simons gauge field theory to a two-dimensional (2D) electron-hole (e-h) system in a strong perpendicular magnetic field under the influence of the quantum point vortices creating by the Chern-Simons (CS) gauge field. The composite electron-hole particles with equal integer positive numbers phi of the attached quantum point vortices are described by the dressed field operators that obey to either the Fermi or Bose statistics depending on the even or odd numbers phi. It is shown that the phase operators, as well as the vector and scalar potentials of the CS gauge field, depend on the difference between the electron and the hole density operators. They vanish in the mean field approximation, when the average values of the electron and of the hole densities coincide. Nevertheless, even in this case, quantum fluctuations of the CS gauge field lead to new properties of the 2D e-h system. It is found that the numbers of vortices attached to each electron and hole are the same. This result is not obvious, and a different distribution of vortices in the environment of electron-hole pairs could be expected. A simple analytical formula is obtained for the shift of the magnetoexciton energy level at the point k = 0 due to the influence of the CS gauge field.

- We study interaction of the two-dimensional magnetoexcitons with in-plane wave vector (k) over right arrow (parallel to) = 0, taking into account the influence of the excited Landau levels (ELLS) and of the external electric field perpendicular to the surface of the quantum well and parallel to the external magnetic field., It is shown that the account of the ELLS gives rise to the repulsion between the spinless magnetoexcitons with (k) over right arrow (parallel to) = 0 in the Fock approximation, with the interaction constant g decreasing inverse proportional to the magnetic field strength B (g(0) similar to 1/B). In the presence of the perpendicular electric field the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC), Zeeman splitting (ZS) and nonparabolicity of the heavy-hole dispersion law affect the Landau quantization of the electrons and holes. They move along the new cyclotron orbits, change their Coulomb interactions and cause the interaction between 21) magnetoexcitons with (k) over right arrow (parallel to) = 0. The changes of the Coulomb interactions caused by the electrons and by the holes moving with new cyclotron orbits are characterized by some coefficients, which in the absence of the electric field turn to be unity. The differences between these coefficients of the electron-hole pairs forming the magnetoexcitons determine their affinities to the interactions. The interactions between the homogeneous, semihomogeneous and heterogeneous magnetoexcitons forming the symmetric states with the same signs of their affinities are attractive whereas in the case of different sign affinities are repulsive. In the heterogeneous asymmetric states the interactions have opposite signs in comparison with the symmetric states. In all these cases the interaction constant g have the dependence g(0) - 1/root B.

- The collective elementary excitations of the two-dimensional (2D) magnetoexcitons in the state of their BoseEinstein condensation (BEC) with nonzero wave vector k and inplane parallel oriented motional dipole moments are investigated in the HartreeFockBogoliubov approximation (HFBA). The breaking of the gauge symmetry is achieved using the Bogoliubov theory of quasiaverages and the KeldyshKozlovKopaev (KKK) method. The starting Hamiltonian and the Green's functions are determined using the integral two-particle operators instead of the single-particle Fermi operators. The infinite chains of equations of motion for the multioperator four- and six-particle Green-s functions are truncated following the Zubarev method and introducing a small parameter of the perturbation theory related with the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) filling factor and with the phase-space filling factor. The energy spectrum of the collective elementary excitations consists of the mixed excitonplasmon energy braches, mixed excitonplasmon quasienergy branches as well as the optical and acoustical plasmon energy branches. The exciton branches of the spectrum have gaps related with the negative values of the chemical potential and attractive interaction between the 2D megnetoexcitons with inplane, parallel oriented motional dipole moments. The slopes of the mixed excitonplasmon branches are determined by the group velocities of the moving condensed excitons in the laboratory reference frame. The acoustical and optical plasmon energy branches are gapless. Their dependence on the small wave vectors accounted from the condensate wave vector k is linear and quadratic, respectively, with saturation in the range of high values of the wave vectors.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The influence of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) on the two-dimensional (2D) electrons and holes in a strong perpendicular magnetic field leads to different results for the Landau quantization in different spin projections. In the Landau gauge the unidimensional wave vector describing the free motion in one in-plane direction is the same for both spin projections, whereas the numbers of Landau quantization levels are different. For an electron in an s-type conduction band they differ by one, as was established earlier by Rashba (1960 Fiz. Tverd. Tela 2 1224), whereas for heavy holes in a p-type valence band influenced by the 2D symmetry of the layer they differ by three. The shifts and the rearrangements of the 2D hole Landau quantization levels on the energy scale are much larger in comparison with the case of conduction electron Landau levels. This is due to the strong influence of the magnetic field on the RSOC parameter. At sufficiently large values of this parameter the shifts and rearrangements are comparable with the hole cyclotron energy. There are two lowest spin-split Landau levels for electrons as well as four lowest ones for holes in the case of small RSOC parameters. They give rise to eight lowest energy bands of the 2D magnetoexcitons, as well as of the band-to-band quantum transitions. It is shown that three of them are dipole-active, three are quadrupole-active and two are forbidden. The optical orientation under the influence of circularly polarized light leads to optical alignment of the magnetoexcitons with different orbital momentum projections in the direction of the external magnetic field.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hydrogen-oxygen flame acceleration and transition from deflagration to detonation (DDT) in channels with no-slip walls were studied theoretically and using high resolution simulations of 2D reactive Navier-Stokes equations, including the effects of viscosity, thermal conduction, molecular diffusion, real equation of state and a detailed chemical reaction mechanism. It is shown that in "wide" channels (D > 1 mm) there are three distinctive stages of the combustion wave propagation: the initial short stage of exponential acceleration; the second stage of slower flame acceleration; the third stage of the actual transition to detonation. In a thin channel (D < 1 mm) the flame exponential acceleration is not bounded till the transition to detonation. While velocity of the steady detonation waves formed in wider channels (10, 5, 3, 2 mm) is close to the Chapman Jouguet velocity, the oscillating detonation waves with velocities slightly below the CJ velocity are formed in thinner channels (D < 1.0 mm). We analyse applicability of the gradient mechanism of detonation ignition for a detailed chemical reaction model to be a mechanism of the deflagration-to-detonation transition. The results of high resolution simulations are fully consistent with experimental observations of flame acceleration and DDT in hydrogen-oxygen gaseous mixtures.

- Hydrogen-oxygen flame acceleration and the transition from deflagration to detonation (DDT) in channels with no-slip walls are studied using high resolution simulations of 3D reactive Navier-Stokes equations, including the effects of viscosity, thermal conduction, molecular diffusion, real equation of state and detailed (reduced) chemical reaction mechanism. The acceleration of the flame propagating from the closed end of a channel, which is a key factor for understanding of the mechanism of DDT, is thoroughly studied. The three dimensional modeling of the flame acceleration and DDT in a semi-closed rectangular channel with cross section 10 x 10 mm and length 250 mm confirms validity of the mechanism of deflagration-to-detonation transition, which was proposed earlier theoretically and verified using 2D simulations. We show that 3D model contrary to 2D models allows to understand clearly the meaning of schlieren photos obtained in experimental studies. The numerical schlieren and numerical shadowgraph obtained using 3D calculations clarify the meaning of the experimental schlieren and shadow photos and some earlier misinterpretations of experimental data.

- In this study we examine influence of the radiation heat transfer on the combustion regimes in the mixture, formed by suspension of fine inert particles in hydrogen gas. The gaseous phase is assumed to be transparent for the thermal radiation, while the radiant heat absorbed by the particles is then lost by conduction to the surrounding gas. The particles and gas ahead of the flame is assumed to be heated by radiation from the original flame. It is shown that the maximum temperature increase due to the radiation preheating becomes larger for a flame with lower velocity. For a flame with small enough velocity temperature of the radiation preheating may exceed the crossover temperature, so that the radiation heat transfer may become a dominant mechanism of the flame propagation. In the case of non-uniform distribution of particles, the temperature gradient formed due to the radiation preheating can initiate either deflagration or detonation ahead of the original flame via the Zel'dovich's gradient mechanism. The initiated combustion regime ignited in the preheat zone ahead of the flame depends on the radiation absorption length and on the steepness of the formed temperature gradient. Scenario of the detonation triggering via the temperature gradient mechanism formed due to the radiation preheating is plausible explanation of the transition to detonation in Supernovae Type la explosion.

- Regimes of chemical reaction wave propagation initiated by initial temperature nonuniformity in gaseous mixtures, whose chemistry is governed by chain-branching kinetics, are studied using a multispecies transport model and a detailed chemical model. Possible regimes of reaction wave propagation are identified for stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen and hydrogen-air mixtures in a wide range of initial pressures and temperature levels, depending on the initial non-uniformity steepness. The limits of the regimes of reaction wave propagation depend upon the values of the spontaneous wave speed and the characteristic velocities of the problem. It is shown that one-step kinetics cannot reproduce either quantitative neither qualitative features of the ignition process in real gaseous mixtures because the difference between the induction time and the time when the exothermic reaction begins significantly affects the ignition, evolution, and coupling of the spontaneous reaction wave and the pressure wave, especially at lower temperatures. We show that all the regimes initiated by the temperature gradient occur for much shallower temperature gradients than predicted by a one-step model. The difference is very large for lower initial pressures and for slowly reacting mixtures. In this way the paper provides an answer to questions, important in practice, about the ignition energy, its distribution, and the scale of the initial nonuniformity required for ignition in one or another regime of combustion wave propagation.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The collective elementary excitations of a system of two-dimensional magnetoexcitons in a state of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) with arbitrary wave vector was investigated in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation. The breaking of the gauge symmetry of the Hamiltonian was introduced following the idea proposed by Bogoliubov in his theory of quasi-averages. The equations of motion were written in the frame of the starting electron and hole creation and annihilation operators. The chains of equations of motion for a set of Green's functions describing the exciton-type excitations as well as the plasmon-type excitations were deduced. Their disconnections were introduced using the perturbation theory with a small parameter of the theory proportional to the filling factor multiplied by the phase space filling factor. The energy spectrum of the collective elementary excitations is characterized by the interconnection of the exciton and plasmon branches, because the plasmon-type elementary excitations are gapless and are lying in the same spectral interval as the exciton-type elementary excitations.

Dispersion laws of the two-dimensional cavity magnetoexciton-polaritons

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The energy spectrum of the two-dimensional cavity magnetoexciton-polaritons has been investigated previously, using exact solutions for the Landau quantization (LQ) of conduction electrons and heavy holes (hhs) provided by the Rashba method. Two lowest LQ levels for electrons and three lowest Landau levels for hhs lead to the construction of the six lowest magnetoexciton sates. They consist of two dipole-active, two quadrupole-active, and the two forbidden quantum transitions from the ground state of the crystal to the magnetoexciton states. The interaction of the four optical-active magnetoexciton states with the cavity-mode photons with a given circular polarization and with well-defined incidence direction leads to the creation of five magnetoexciton-polariton branches. The fifth-order dispersion equation is examined by using numerical calculations and the second-order dispersion equation is solved analytically, taking into account only one dipole-active magnetoexciton state in the point of the in-plane wave vector k→ ||=0. The effective polariton mass on the lower polariton branch, the Rabi frequency, and the corresponding Hopfield coefficients are determined in dependence on the magnetic-field strength, the Rashba spin-orbit coupling parameters, and the electron and hole g-factors.

- We consider the energy spectrum of the two-dimensional cavity polaritons under the influence of a strong magnetic and electric fields perpendicular to the surface of the GaAs-type quantum wells (QWs) with p-type valence band embedded into the resonators. As the first step in this direction the Landau quantization (LQ) of the electrons and heavy-holes (hh) was investigated taking into account the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) with third-order chirality terms for hh and with nonparabolicity terms in their dispersion low including as well the Zeeman splitting (ZS) effects. The nonparabolicity term is proportional to the strength of the electric field and was introduced to avoid the collapse of the semiconductor energy gap under the influence of the third order chirality terms. The exact solutions for the eigenfunctions and eigenenergies were obtained using the Rashba method [E.I. Rashba, Fiz. Tverd. Tela 2, 1224 (1960) [Sov. Phys. Solid State 2, 1109 (1960)]]. On the second step we derive in the second quantization representation the Hamiltonians describing the Coulomb electron-electron and the electron-radiation interactions. This allow us to determine the magnetoexciton energy branches and to deduce the Hamiltonian of the magnetoexciton-photon interaction. On the third step the fifth order dispersion equation describing the energy spectrum of the cavity magnetoexciton-polariton is investigated. It takes into account the interaction of the cavity photons with two dipole-active and with two quadrupole-active 2D magnetoexciton energy branches. The cavity photons have the circular polarizations σk ± oriented along their wave vectors k, which has the quantized longitudinal component kz = ± π/Lc, where Lc is the resonator length and another small transverse component k∥ oriented in the plane of the QW. The 2D magnetoexcitons are characterized by the in-plane wave vectors k∥ and by circular polarizations σM arising in the p-type valence band with magnetic momentum projection M = ± 1 on the direction of the magnetic field. The selection rules of the exciton-photon interaction have two origins. The first one, of geometrical-type, is expressed through the scalar products of the two-types circular polarizations. They depend on the in-plane wave vectors k∥ even in the case of dipole-active transitions, because the cavity photons have an oblique incidence to the surface of the QW. Another origin is related with the numbers ne and nh of the LQ levels of electrons and heavy-holes taking part in the magnetoexciton formation. So, the dipole-active transitions take place for the condition ne = nh, whereas in the quadrupole-active transitions the relation is ne = nh ± 1. It was shown that the Rabi frequency ΩR of the polariton branches and the magnetoexciton oscillator strength fosc increase in dependence on the magnetic field strength B as ΩR ~ √B, and fosc ~ B. The optical gyrotropy effects may be revealed if changing the sign of the photon circular polarization at a given sign of the wave vector longitudinal projection kz or equivalently changing the sign of the longitudinal projection kz at the same selected light circular polarization.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The new results in the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the two-dimensional (2D) magnetoexcitons formed by the high-density electron-hole (e-h) pairs created on the semiconductor mono-layer in a strong perpendicular magnetic field are reviewed. One of them is the metastable dielectric liquid phase (MDLP) formed by the 2D magnetoexcitons BEG-ed on the single-particle state with sufficiently large values of the wave vector k, so that its product kl with the magnetic length l equals about kl approximate to 3-4. This state was revealed in the conditions when the electrons and holes are situated on the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) and the polarizability of the Bose gas was calculated on the base of the Anderson-type coherent excited states. They give rise to correlation energy and to chemical potential displaying a nonmonotonous dependence on the filling factor v(2) with a relative minimum and with positive compressibility in its vicinity. The influence of the excited Landau levels (ELLs) on the quantum states of the e-h system is due to the virtual quantum transitions of particles from the LLLs to ELLs during the Coulomb scattering processes and to their subsequent return back. These quantum transitions were taken into account in the frame of the second order perturbation theory giving rise to an effective Hamiltonian describing the supplementary indirect interactions between the particles lying on the LLLs. This interaction is characterized by a small parameter equal to the ratio r of the magnetoexciton ionization potential l(ex)(0) to the Landau quantization energy (h) over bar omega(c). The parameter r = l(ex)(0)/(h) over bar omega(c), decreases as H-1/2 with the increasing the magnetic field strength H. The supplementary interaction is attractive, making the magnetoexcitons in the Hartree approximation more robust. Nevertheless its exchange, Fock terms as well as the Bogoliubov u-v transformation terms give rise to positive, repulsion-type contributions to the chemical potential. The Bose gas of magnetoexcitons with k = 0 becomes weakly nonideal when the ELLs are taken into account. The collective elementary excitations of two ground states corresponding to BEG-ed magnetoexcitons forming either a nonideal Bose gas with k = 0 or the MDLP with kl approximate to 3-4 were studied in the frame of the perturbation theory with the infinitesimal parameter v(2)(1 - v(2)), chosen as a product of the filling factor v(2) and of the phase space filling factor (1 - v(2)). The collective elementary excitations in both cases consist from the exciton and plasmon branches. Due to the presence of the condensate there are energy and quasi-energy branches. The self-energy parts containing the unknown frequency in denominators increase the degree of the dispersion equations and give rise to mixed exciton-plasmon and exciton-exciton elementary excitation branches.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The origin of the g-factor of two-dimensional (2D) electrons and holes moving in the periodic crystal lattice potential with perpendicular magnetic and electric fields is discussed. The Pauli equation describing the Landau quantization accompanied by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) and Zeeman splitting (ZS) for 2D heavy holes with nonparabolic dispersion law is solved exactly. The solutions have the form of pairs of the Landau quantization levels due to the spinor-type wave functions. The energy levels depend on the amplitudes of the magnetic and electric fields, on the g-factor g(h), and on the parameter of nonparabolicity C. The dependences of two energy levels in any pair on the Zeeman parameter Z(h) = g(h)m(h) = 4m(0), where m(h) is the hole effective mass, are nonmonotonous and without intersections. The smallest distance between them at C = 0 takes place at the value Z(h) = n/2, where n is the order of the chirality terms determined by the RSOC and is the same for any quantum number of the Landau quantization.

- The Hamiltonian describing the interaction of the two-dimensional (2-D) magnetoexcitons with photons propagating with arbitrary-oriented wave vectors in the three-dimensional (3-D) space is deduced. The magnetoexcitons are characterized by the numbers n(e) and n(h) of the electron and hole Landau quantizations, by circular polarization (sigma) over right arrow (M) of the holes in the p-type valence bands and by in-plane wave vectors (k) over right arrow (parallel to). The photons are characterized by the wave vectors (k) over right arrow with in-plane component (k) over right arrow (parallel to) and perpendicular component k(z), which is quantized in the case of microresonator. The interaction is governed by the conservation law of the in-plane components (k) over right arrow (parallel to)of the magnetoexcitons and photons and by the rotational symmetry around the axis perpendicular to the layer, which leads to the alignment of the magnetoexcitons under the influence of the photons with circular polarization (sigma) over right arrow (+/-)((k) over right arrow) and with probability proportional to vertical bar (sigma) over right arrow (+/-)((k) over right arrow) .

- Four different spin structures of two electrons and of two holes situated on the lowest Landau levels (LLLs) are taken into account to investigate possible bound states of the two-dimensional magnetic biexciton formed of two magnetoexcitons with opposite wave vectors and antiparallel dipole moments. The singlet and triplet states of the spins of two electrons and of two holes separately, as well as of two para- and two ortho-magnetoexcitons are considered. The general expressions describing the binding energy of the bound states and the normalization conditions characterized by the effective spin parameter η=±1,±1/2 for the corresponding wave functions are derived. The most favorable of the four considered spin configurations happened to be the triplet-triplet spin structure of two electrons and of two holes. In its frame a metastable bound state with activation barrier comparable with two ionization potentials of the magnetoexciton is revealed.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The advancement of highly boosted internal combustion engines (ICEs) with high thermal efficiency is mainly constrained by knock and super-knock, respectively, due to the end gas autoignition and detonation development. The pressure wave propagation and reflection in a small confined space may strongly interact with local end gas autoignition, leading to combustion characteristics different from those in a large chamber or open space. The present study investigates the transient autoignition process in an iso-octane/air mixture inside a closed chamber under engine-relevant conditions. The emphasis is given to the assessment of effects of the pressure wave-wall reflection and the mechanism of extremely strong pressure oscillation typical for super-knock. It is found that the hot spot induced autoignition in a closed chamber can be greatly affected by shock/pressure wave reflection from the end wall. Different autoignition modes respectively from the hot spot and the end wall reflection are identified. A non-dimensional parameter quantifying the interplay between different length and time scales is introduced, which helps to identify different autoignition regimes including detonation development near the end wall. It is shown that detonation development from the hot spot may cause super-knock with devastating pressure oscillation. However, the detonation development from the end wall can hardly produce pressure oscillation strong enough for the super-knock. The obtained results provide a fundamental insight into the knocking mechanism in engines under highly boosted conditions.

Clustering of aerosols in atmospheric turbulent flow

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A mechanism of formation of small-scale inhomogeneities in spatial distributions of aerosols and droplets associated with clustering instability in the atmospheric turbulent flow is discussed. The particle clustering is a consequence of a spontaneous breakdown of their homogeneous space distribution due to the clustering instability, and is caused by a combined effect of the particle inertia and a finite correlation time of the turbulent velocity field. In this paper a theoretical approach proposed in Elperin et al. (2002) Phys Rev E 66:036302 is further developed and applied to investigate the mechanisms of formation of small-scale aerosol inhomogeneities in the atmospheric turbulent flow. The theory of the particle clustering instability is extended to the case when the particle Stokes time is larger than the Kolmogorov time scale, but is much smaller than the correlation time at the integral scale of turbulence. We determined the criterion of the clustering instability for the Stokes number larger than 1. We discussed applications of the analyzed effects to the dynamics of aerosols and droplets in the atmospheric turbulent flow.

Turbulent diffusion of chemically reacting flows : Theory and numerical simulations
- 2017

In: Physical review. E. - : American Physical Society. - 2470-0045 .- 2470-0053. ; 96:5

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The theory of turbulent diffusion of chemically reacting gaseous admixtures developed previously [T. Elperin et al., Phys. Rev. E 90, 053001 (2014)] is generalized for large yet finite Reynolds numbers and the dependence of turbulent diffusion coefficient on two parameters, the Reynolds number and Damkohler number (which characterizes a ratio of turbulent and reaction time scales), is obtained. Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of a finite-thickness reaction wave for the first-order chemical reactions propagating in forced, homogeneous, isotropic, and incompressible turbulence are performed to validate the theoretically predicted effect of chemical reactions on turbulent diffusion. It is shown that the obtained DNS results are in good agreement with the developed theory.

Turbulent transport of chemically reacting gaseous admixtures

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We study turbulent diffusion of chemically reacting gaseous admixtures in a developed turbulence. In our previous study [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 69 (1998)] using a path-integral approach for a delta-correlated in time random velocity field, we demonstrated a strong modification of turbulent transport in fluid flows with chemical reactions or phase transitions. In the present study we use the spectral tau approximation, that is valid for large Reynolds and Peclet numbers, and show that turbulent diffusion of the reacting species can be strongly depleted by a large factor that is the ratio of turbulent and chemical times (turbulent Damköhler number). We have demonstrated that the derived theoretical dependence of turbulent diffusion coefficient versus the turbulent Damköhler number is in a good agreement with that obtained previously in the numerical modelling of a reactive front propagating in a turbulent flow and described by the Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov-Fisher equation. We have found that turbulent cross-effects, e.g., turbulent mutual diffusion of gaseous admixtures and turbulent Dufour-effect of the chemically reacting gaseous admixtures, are less sensitive to the values of stoichiometric coefficients. The mechanisms of the turbulent cross-effects are different from the molecular cross effects known in irreversible thermodynamics. In a fully developed turbulence and at large Peclet numbers the turbulent cross-effects are much larger than the molecular ones. The obtained results are applicable also to heterogeneous phase transitions.

Hydrogen-oxygen flame acceleration and transition to detonation in channels with no-slip walls for a detailed chemical reaction model
- 2011
-
In: Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear and Soft Matter Physics. - 1539-3755. ; 83:5, s. 056313-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The features of flame acceleration in channels with wall friction and the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) are investigated theoretically and using high resolution numerical simulations of two-dimensional reactive Navier-Stokes equations, including the effects of viscosity, thermal conduction, molecular diffusion, and a detailed chemical reaction mechanism for hydrogen-oxygen gaseous mixture. It is shown that in a wide channel, from the beginning, the flame velocity increases exponentially for a short time and then flame acceleration decreases, ending up with the abrupt increase of the combustion wave velocity and the actual transition to detonation. In a thin channel with a width smaller than the critical value, the exponential increase of the flame velocity is not bounded and ends up with the transition to detonation. The transition to detonation occurs due to the pressure pulse, which is formed at the tip of the accelerating flame. The amplitude of the pressure pulse grows exponentially due to a positive feedback coupling between the pressure pulse and the heat released in the reaction. Finally, large amplitude pressure pulse steepens into a strong shock coupled with the reaction zone forming the overdriven detonation. The evolution from a temperature gradient to a detonation via the Zeldovich gradient mechanism and its applicability to the deflagration-to-detonation transition is investigated for combustible materials whose chemistry is governed by chain-branching kinetics. The results of the high resolution simulations are fully consistent with experimental observations of the flame acceleration and DDT.

Hydrogen atom in a magnetic field as an exactly solvable system without dynamical symmetries?

- According to the generally accepted classification, there are supersymmetric superintegrable systems for which the Schrödinger equation is separable in more than one coordinate system and which admit an exact solution. A classic example of a superintegrable system is a hydrogen atom. It is believed that the converse is also true: an exactly solvable system has many integrals of motion corresponding to the separation constants of the Schrödinger equation in more than one coordinate system, which also means a high symmetry group of the system. It is shown that the existence of an exact solution for a hydrogen atom in an arbitrary strong uniform magnetic field apparently contradicts this classification.

Multipoint radiation induced ignition of dust explosions : turbulent clustering of particles and increased transparency

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Understanding the causes and mechanisms of large explosions, especially dust explosions, is essential for minimising devastating hazards in many industrial processes. It is known that unconfined dust explosions begin as primary (turbulent) deflagrations followed by a devastating secondary explosion. The secondary explosion may propagate with a speed of up to 1000 m/s producing overpressures of over 8-10 atm, which is comparable with overpressures produced in detonation. Since detonation is the only established theory that allows rapid burning producing a high pressure that can be sustained in open areas, the generally accepted view was that the mechanism explaining the high rate of combustion in dust explosions is deflagration-to-detonation transition. In the present work we propose a theoretical substantiation of an alternative mechanism explaining the origin of the secondary explosion producing high speeds of combustion and high overpressures in unconfined dust explosions. We show that the clustering of dust particles in a turbulent flow ahead of the advancing flame front gives rise to a significant increase of the thermal radiation absorption length. This effect ensures that clusters of dust particles are exposed to and heated by radiation from hot combustion products of dust explosions for a sufficiently long time to become multi-point ignition kernels in a large volume ahead of the advancing flame. The ignition times of a fuel-air mixture caused by radiatively heated clusters of particles is considerably reduced compared with the ignition time caused by an isolated particle. Radiation-induced multipoint ignitions of a large volume of fuel-air ahead of the primary flame efficiently increase the total flame area, giving rise to the secondary explosion, which results in the high rates of combustion and overpressures required to account for the observed level of overpressures and damage in unconfined dust explosions, such as for example the 2005 Buncefield explosion and several vapour cloud explosions of severity similar to that of the Buncefield incident.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- New high order implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta methods have been developed and implemented into a finite volume code to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for reacting gas mixtures. If only the stiff chemistry is treated implicitly, the linear systems in each Newton iteration are simple and solved directly. Numerical simulations of deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) show the potential of the new time integration for computational combustion.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a high-resolution convergence study of detonation initiated by a temperature gradient in a stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen mixture using the PENCIL CODE and compare with a code that employs a fifth order weighted essentially non-oscillating (WENO) scheme. With Mach numbers reaching 10-30, a certain amount of shock viscosity is needed in the PENCIL CODE to remove or reduce numerical pressure oscillations on the grid scale at the position of the shock. Detonation is found to occur for intermediate values of the shock viscosity parameter. At fixed values of this parameter, the numerical error associated with those small wiggles in the pressure profile is found to decrease with decreasing mesh width like down to . With the WENO scheme, solutions are smooth at , but no detonation is obtained for . This is argued to be an artifact of a decoupling between pressure and reaction fronts.
