Abstract: The processes of attenuation and suppression of detonation in gas suspensions of aluminum particles by extended clouds of inert particles are studied on the basis of numerical simulations of two-dimensional flows. The normalized detonation velocity is found as a function of the concentration of inert particles. The conditions of detonation failure are determined for non-stoichiometric mixtures with oxygen and for the case with concentration gradients across the channel. It is demonstrated that a one-dimensional approach has certain limitations in determining the detonation failure criteria because transverse waves of cellular detonation favor its reinitiation. Sufficient conditions of detonation suppression for 1-$\mu$m particles are determined.

Keywords: cellular detonation, gas suspension of aluminum particles, detonation suppression, mathematical modeling, numerical simulation.
