Abstract

The physical and mathematical aspects of the theory of a detonation wave containing heavy inert particles are considered. The detonation wave intensity and structure are determined by the relaxation of velocities of both the reactive explosive and the inert admixture. The generalized Jouguet condition is formulated for the velocity of a self-sustained detonation wave. The results of analytical treatment and the model numerical solutions of the problem of the detonation wave velocity selection and the wave structure determination are presented as a function of the ratio of the characteristic times of the heat evolution and the two-component flow velocity relaxation. A limiting case of the fast particle drag is represented by the shock wave structure determined by relaxation of the two-component flow velocity.
