Experimental study of flame acceleration processes and deflagration-to-detonation transition (review of research of the Llykov Institute for Heat and Mass Transfer (ITMO University) of the National Academy of Sciences, Belarus

Results of investigations of flame acceleration and deflagration-to-detonation transition in circular smooth tubes performed for several last years at the ITMO University (Minsk, Belarus) are briefly reviewed and systematized. All stages of the flame acceleration process from initiation with a weak source to detonation are demonstrated and described.
