Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present …

In this paper, the combustion mechanisms of aluminum particles suspended in air and dust
flame propagation mechanisms in dust-air mixtures, more specifically, in aluminum dust-air …

While the nano-sized energetic materials are featured with ultra-high energy density, the
ubiquitous agglomeration in their combustion is still unexplored. In this paper, the …

Reduced diffusion length scales and increased specific surface areas of nanosized metal
fuels have recently demonstrated increased reaction rates for these systems, increasing …

Le principal objectif de la thèse est l'initiation en détonation d'explosifs secondaires (RDX,
