Abstract
Laser-supported Detonation (LSD), which is one type of Laser-supported Plasma (LSP), is an important phenomenon because it can generate high pressures and temperatures for laser absorption. In this study, using thermal-non-equilibrium model, we numerically simulate LSPs, which are categorized as either LSDs or laser-supported combustion-waves (LSCs). For the analysis model, a two-temperature (heavy particle and electron-temperature) model has been used because the electronic mode excites first in laser absorption and a thermal non-equilibrium state easily arises. In the numerical analysis of the LSDs, laser absorption models are particularly important. Therefore, a multi-charged ionization model is considered to evaluate precisely the propagation and the structure transition of the LSD waves in the proximity of the LSC-LSD threshold. In the new model, the transition of the LSD construction near the threshold, which is indicated by the ionization delay length, becomes more practical.
