Abstract:
The development of some Shchelkin’s ideas in investigations of the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences is described. These ideas include the discovery of different effects of intense and weak turbulence on surface combustion, study of phenomena near the detonation origination point, experimental demonstration of chemical self-preparation of an explosive mixture, and identification of the dominating role of gas-dynamic factors in the deflagration-to-detonation transition.
Keywords:turbulent combustion, acceleration of the deflagration-to-detonation transition, controlled detonation of gases.
