Hydrogen detonation and fast deflagration triggered by a turbulent jet of combustion products
Abstract
Initiation of detonation by a turbulent jet of combustion products has been studied in a detonation tube of 141 mm inner diameter. Jet formation techniques based on either a perforated plate or bursting membrane subjected to the impact of a stable detonation wave were utilized. Critical conditions of detonation initiation in hydrogen-air and hydrogen-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures have been found to depend on both the mixture sensitivity and the geometrical parameters of the arrangement.
