Abstract
We mainly do the investigations the behaviors of combustible flows, especially H2/Air and H2/O2 mixtures with high or normal pressures. The interested physical phenomena include the jet flame, hydrogen safety, deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) as well as detonation.
Now well-designed adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) codes for the simulation of combustible flows are being perfected and are used to calculate the hydrogen jet flame and the DDT process. Fundamental mechanism like the gradient mechanism on the onset of detonation in the DDT process will be discussed in details owing to the high resolution by AMR. Engineering Parameters like the how fast/how wide hydrogen would spread can also be analysed as well as the combustible characteristic.

Reasons for using JSS2
Numerical calculations are used to simulate the combustible flows with AMR which provides local high resolutions. In order to discuss the detailed flame and detonation structures, the flame or detonation fields need to be reproduced by the simulation in 2D or 3D to some extent both in time and space, which are large-scale calculations. Therefore, the supercomputer would be necessary for use to perform such a research. Without it, we cannot get valid data to analyse.
Achievements of the Year
1) AMR program with reaction models is perfected further.
2) Calculated Jet has developed to a penetration distance which is large enough to analyse the jet properties and to start jet flames.
3) Deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) was reproduced in a tube filled with H2/O2 with high resolutions and the fundamental mechanisms of DDT and detonation have been discussed.
4) Four ■ Peer-reviewed papers are composed based on the above results.
