Abstract
The process of explosive initiation of spherical, heterogeneous detonation waves in monodisperse, homogeneous aerocolloids of a unitary fuel is modeled mathematically. It is shown that regimes of decaying and detonating combustion of the reacting disperse mixtures are possible, depending on the initial mass concentration and initial particle size in the mixture. It is established that the laws governing the mass transfer of burning particles have a significant influence on the patterns of explosive generation and propagation of detonation waves in unitary fuel aerocolloids. The critical (maximum) diameter of the unitary fuel particles, below which the shock initiation of heterogeneous combustion is possible, is determined as a function of the particular value of their relative mass concentration in the mixture.
