Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

On the basis of the mathematical model of a two–phase two–velocity medium, detonation of a cryogenic mixture (gaseous hydrogen—drops of liquid oxygen) was studied numerically. The dynamics of formation and the special features of the structure of the two–dimensional reaction zone of the detonation wave are discussed. The cellular structure of detonation is modeled for the first time for a cryogenic hydrogen—oxygen spray.
