Abstract: The theoretical and experimental data on the combustion of cyclic nitramines published in the past 30 years are systematized and critically reviewed. Results of studies of combustion-wave parameters and flame chemical structure are presented. Simplified and detailed models of nitramine combustion are examined. Reduction of the chemical mechanism in a flame and general problems of the adequate description of nitramine-combustion waves are discussed. The review materials are also of interest in analysis of the combustion processes of composite propellants based on nitramines.
