NORMAL REFLECTION OF A PLANE GASEOUS DETONATION WAVE IN A TUBE.
Abstract
A method, together with a FORTRAN IV computer program, is presented for the calculation of the trajectory and properties of a shock wave generated on normal reflection of an idealized gaseous detonation wave in a tube. The detonation wave is assumed to be formed by energetic ignition resulting in zero detonation induction distance. The reflecting wall is assumed either to be set in motion at a constant velocity at the instant of reflection or to remain at rest. It is also assumed that the reflecting shock wave is plane and gamma constant throughout the burned gas. A comparison is made between calculation and experiment for normal reflection from a stationary wall of a 2H2 + O2 detonation wave (with gases at the initial pressure of 10 atm.), in a detonation tube 1 in. in diameter and about 10 in. long.
