Abstract

Phenomenon of propagation of self-sustaining detonation-like waves in suspensions of condensed fuel or oxidiser in atmosphere of another component is called heterogeneous detonation. In contrast to gaseous detonation being investigated since the end of XIX century, the first experimental evidences of detonation wave (DW) existence in a shock tube in suspension of kerosene droplets, diethylciclohexane and diesel fuel in gaseous oxygen were obtained early in the 1960-s [1,2].
