The Formation Of A Detonation Wave With Multipoint Initiation

The results of experimental investigations of the formation of detonation waves with multipoint initiation for the case of a planar and converging cylindrical wave are presented. A special initiation system was used, where the main element was modeled for manufacturing on a three dimensional printer. A solution was found to form a smooth detonation wave for the planar case. Studies of a converging cylindrical detonation wave have shown the need to solve some fundamental issues related to the nonstationarity of such a wave.
