Abstract

A new method is proposed for diagnostics of the cellular structure of a detonation wave on the basis of recording of the gas-pressure pulsations in the shock-wave stub downstream of the front of this wave with the use of piezoelectric transducers. Spectral analysis of the signals recorded allows one to exactly determine the range of possible sizes of a detonation cell and the probability-distribution function of the cellular-structure states.
