Abstract:
The nonshock initiation of detonation in vacuum with unitary-fuel particles is considered. The dynamics of reaction-zone formation of a nonsteady detonation wave with disperse structure is discussed. The approach to steady Chapman–Jouquet detonation is considered. The critical initiation energies of a plane detonation wave with variation in length of the initiation section and the energy density supplied are calculated, and may be used in experimental investigations.
