Description
Summary:A VISAR multipoint laser interferometer is used to study a detonation wave structure in mixtures of tetranitromethane with methanol and nitrobenzene. A poor reproducibility of particle velocity profiles is observed in different experiments with a fixed composition of mixtures. As shown by simultaneous recording of wave profiles at several points of the detonation front and different cross sections of the sample, the flow is one-dimensional and stable with respect to longitudinal perturbations. This means that steady detonation is observed in each experiment, and its parameters differ from shot to shot. Aside from the lack of reproducibility of particle velocity profiles, nonclassical detonation is recorded in the mixtures under study, which is observed as the absence of a von Neumann spike in a reaction zone. A possible relationship between these two phenomena is discussed.
