In the present work, the solver rhoCentralRfFoam, developed using the finite volume framework provided by OpenFOAM (R), is employed to perform numerical simulations of two-dimensional detonations. This solver uses the central scheme of Kurganov, Noelle, and Petrova for dealing with convective terms. Also, the detailed kinetic model for hydrogen oxidation of Marinov, Westbrook, and Pitz was used for properly defining chemically induced source terms, and the semi-implicit Bulirsh Stoer (SIBS) method was employed for solving the stiff ODE system required to compute the species' rates. The present study intends to investigate the solver's capability for computing cellular structures, which develop when non-planar detonations are propagating in confined mixtures. Interactions between waves, resulting from several ignition points, are used as perturbation sources for the onset of cellular structures. Numerical simulations allowed us to identify a well-shaped cellular structure and other different structures that are not clearly defined, close to the ignition sources. However, after extending the computational domain, convergence towards a unique cellular pattern is attained. Such cellular pattern compares with most of the available data. Also, in order to improve the presentation of cellular structures and their dynamic behavior, a numerical schlieren technique is utilized for some flow variables (e.g. vorticity and density).
