Problem of detonation suppression by means of blankets and foams

Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The subject of investigation was the effect of an injection of water vapor on the detonation of fuel-air mixtures. It is shown that the injection of mass into the detonation wave reaction zone leads to a lowering of the velocity and to a disruption of detonation. The possibility of a suppression of detonation with moderate water-mechanical foams density was investigated experimentally.
