The effect of bubble size on the detonation wave characteristics

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Detonation waves in various monodispersed media containing gas bubbles with a specified diameter were investigated experimentally. The investigation centered on the effect of the bubble size on the critical initiation conditions, the structure and on the properties of the detonation waves in bubbly media. Lower and upper bubble diameter limits were detected for the existence of detonation waves. The behavior characteristics of the gas bubbles of various diameters in the detonation wave are explained.
