Problem of detonation suppression by means of blankets and foams

Abstract: The subject of investigation was the effect of an injection of water vapor on the detonation of fuel-air mixtures. It is shown that the injection of mass into the detonation wave reaction zone leads to a lowering of the velocity and to a disruption of detonation. The possibility of a suppression of detonation with moderate water-mechanical foams density was investigated experimentally.
