Abstract:
Schlieren moving-picture photography is used to study the burnup of oxygen gaseous mixtures in a cylindrical chamber with a gap at its periphery. It is found that a flame penetrating from the chamber into the gap can accelerate up to detonation speeds. The reaction wave in the gap precedes the primary combustion front propagating through the chamber and the reaction products escaping the gap create secondary combustion sources in the chamber. A process occurs in which a detonation wave that appears in the gap near one flank of the flame enters the main volume through the opposite flank, first triggering an explosion in the turbulent combustion zone (“an explosion within an explosion”) and then a detonation wave in the unreacted gas charge (“knock” in an engine). An interpretation is provided for the gas-dynamic structure of the secondary combustion source which is created in the cylindrical combustion chamber by a detonation wave propagating in the gap.
