Abstract
In the present study systematic photographic investigations were performed of detonation interactions with foams and wire meshes lining the channel walls. An initial cellular detonation wave was propagating along a damping section (acoustic absorbing walls) which removed the transverse waves associated with its cellular structure. In some cases the wave had failed and a fast deflagration wave (a shock followed by a decoupled flame) was obtained and propagated at about half the C-J detonation speed. The events were studied photographically using a high speed framing camera and smoked foils.
