The Formation, Propagation and Stability of Self-Sustained Detonation Waves in Gaseous Mixtures, Condensed-Phase Explosives and Media With Hydraulic Resistance

Finally, we consider the propagation of a detonation though media with hydraulic resistance. In the framework of the model three-step reaction we demonstrate multiplicity of the detonation regimes. We construct detonation speed versus friction curves for super-detonation, choking detonation, and shockless subsonic detonation. Numerical investigation of stability of subsonic detonation shows that an increase of hydraulic resistance destibilizes the detonation, wherease an increase of the chain-branching temperature has the opposite effect.
