Abstract: Cellular detonation in suspensions of two fractions of submicron and nano-sized aluminum particles is studied by numerical methods. Approaches of mechanics of heterogeneous media are used. The transition from the continuum to free-molecular regime of the flow around the particles is taken into account in the processes of interphase interaction. Particle combustion is described within the framework of the previously developed model of reduced kinetics. The results calculated for two-dimensional flows in a plane channel reveal significant differences from suspensions of two fractions of microparticles, where degeneration of transverse waves is observed. In the present study, weakly regular and irregular cellular structures are formed, which is also confirmed theoretically on the basis of the acoustic analysis based on the Barthel method.

Keywords: gas suspensions, aluminum micro- and nanoparticles, cellular detonation, numerical simulation.
