Passage of a bubble-detonation wave into a chemically inactive bubble medium

Passage of detonation waves from a chemically active bubble medium into a chemically inactive bubble medium is studied experimentally. The structure of incident (detonation) and transmitted (post-detonation) waves is investigated, and the pressures of these waves for different parameters of bubble media are measured. The evolution of post-detonation waves is traced. Decay constants of post-detonation waves are determined. The speeds of propagation of detonation and post-detonation waves are measured. The energy-dissipation mechanisms for detonation and post-detonation waves in bubble media are analyzed qualitatively.
