The dynamics of one-dimensional Chapman–Jouguet detonations driven by chain-branching kinetics is studied using numerical simulations. chemical kinetic model based on a two-step reaction mechanism, consisting thermally neutral induction step followed main layer, both governed Arrhenius kinetics. Results are in agreement with previous studies that become unstable when the zone dominates over layer. To study nonlinear dynamics, bifurcation diagram constructed from computational results....

The reliability of urban passenger trains is a critical performance measure for satisfaction and ultimately market share. A delay to one train in peak period can have severe effect on the schedule adherence other trains. This paper presents an analytically based model quantify expected positive individual track links rail network. specifically addresses direct trains, knock-on delays at scheduled connections. solution resultant system equations found using iterative refinement algorithm....

Abstract At least 63 people were killed in 59 incidents by non‐captive black bear ( Ursus americanus ) during 1900–2009. Fatal attacks occurred Canada and Alaska n = 49) the lower 48 states 14). There 3.5 times as many fatal but only 1.75 bears, much less human contact for bears Alaska. was a weak positive correlation r s 0.56, P ≤ 0.000) between estimated size of population within given jurisdiction number attacks. Some jurisdictions had no large populations. Of attacks, 86% (54 63,...

To understand the nonlinear dynamical behaviour of a one-dimensional pulsating detonation, results obtained from numerical simulations Euler equations with simple one-step Arrhenius kinetics are analysed using basic dynamics and chaos theory. illustrate transition pattern harmonic limit-cycle to more complex irregular oscillation, bifurcation diagram is constructed computational results. Evidence suggests that route higher instability modes may follow closely Feigenbaum scenario...
