128 CHAPTER 5. STRUCTURE OF THE COMBUSTION WAVES<br />

<strong>de</strong>tonation is soon establish because both effects increase the influence of friction. On<br />

the other hand, if the mixture is ignited at the open end of the tube, the <strong>de</strong>tonation is<br />

established with greater difficulty as the burnt gases can escape through the open end<br />

and the pressure wave that prece<strong>de</strong>s the combustion wave is much weaker. In this case,<br />

a longer tube is necessary so that the pressure wave may reach the required intensity<br />

for the <strong>de</strong>tonation to occur.<br />

For the case previously analyzed, A.K. Oppenhein [15] has studied the succession<br />

of intermediate states that must be produced in the transition from <strong>de</strong>flagration to<br />

<strong>de</strong>tonation by acceleration of the <strong>de</strong>flagration wave up to the point where it overtakes<br />

the shock wave. He <strong>de</strong>monstrated his results by means of a hydraulic analogy.<br />
