Abstract

A combined experimental and theoretical study of deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in smooth narrow channels is presented. Some of the distinguishing features characterizing the late stages of DDT are shown to be qualitatively captured by a simple one-dimensional scalar equation. Inspection of the structure and stability of the traveling wave solutions found in the model, and comparison with experimental observations, suggest a possible mechanism responsible for front acceleration and transition to detonation.
