Abstract

The possibility of detonation transmission through a water plug from one column of a chemically active bubbly medium to another is experimentally verified. The critical length of the liquid plug is determined. The experiments are performed in a shock tube with bubbles of a stoichiometric acetylene–oxygen mixture in water. The character of peak‐pressure decay after detonation‐wave departure from the bubbly medium to the liquid is established. It is shown that the pressure profile retains similarity as the compression wave propagates over a discrete gas–iquid medium.
