On gas detonation limits

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

Abstract

A one-dimensional model for a multiheaded detonation has been constructed with account for friction, heat losses, and the decay of gas velocity pulsations. The existence of detonation limits in narrow channels has been numerically shown. The calculation results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
