Figure 7: Image sequence of the scalar field from a 2D calculation showing the interaction of shock and rarefaction waves with a deflagration wall (initiated at the left side) and a detonation wall (starting from the right). A shock and rarefaction wave travel to the right and left, respectively, from the temperature discontinuity located initially at the grid center (the right half of the grid is at a higher temperature). The physical size of the domain is set to 1806.1 × 451.53 fm and resolved by 2048 × 512 zones. The run time of the simulation is about two sound crossing times.
