Abstract

The interaction of a cellular detonation wave with a cloud of inert particles is investigated numerically. The regimes of propagation of the heterogeneous cellular detonation and its suppression are identified. The influence of various parameters of the inert cloud is demonstrated. The critical length of the cloud for detonation suppression is determined. It is shown that the disperse composition and the non-uniform distribution of particles of the particle cloud are important parameters affecting the detonation propagation mode.
