Abstract
Twenty two papers on fundamentals of high-speed deflagrations and detonations written by international experts are assembled in this volume. The papers have been presented at the International Colloquium on Control of Detonation Processes held in Moscow, Russia on July 4-7, 2000. Various aspects of deflagration to detonation transition as well as direct detonation initiation in gaseous and heterogeneous media are discussed with the emphasis on control of the predetonation distance and parameters of transient high-speed combustion regimes. Applications of various explosion control techniques to pulsed detonation engines (PDE) are described.

Description
High-Speed Deflagration and Detonation: Fundamentals and Control. International Colloquium on Control and Detonation Processes Held in Moscow, Russia on July 4-7, 2000. Final report.
ABOUT THE BOOK This book is a unique collection of articles on fundamentals and control of high-speed deflagrations and detonations written by jnternational experts, and comprises of the following three parts: (1) High-Speed Deflagration: Fundamentals & Control (2) Detonation: Fundamentals & Control, and (3) Pulsed Detonation Engines The first part deals mainly with various aspects of deflagration to detonation transition in gaseous media and describes high-speed transient regimes of turbulent combustion that are intermediate between detonation and slow deflagration. The emphasis is made on control of the predetonation distance under confined and partially confined configurations by, means of obstructions, chemical sensitizers, etc. The second part includes contributions on control of direct detonation initiation and propagation in channels of constant or variable cross-section. The third part describes applications of various explosion control techniques to pulsed detonation engines (PDE). New concepts of PDE dealing with 'rotating' detonations, repeated in situ mixing of fuels with different detonability, periodically reinitiated detonations, jet-induced detonations in a resonator cavity, etc. are discussed in detail and are evaluated. Comparative studies of combustion efficiency in various types of thrusters and propulsion power plants are also reported emphasizing the performance of PDE. The book, with numerous illustrations and an extensive list of up-to-date references, is a compilation of the most promising state-:-of-the-art research in this field that has attracted significant world-wide attention in the past several years. The volume is addressed to scientists and practicing research engineers working in the field of propulsion and power engineering. It will be useful as an advanced graduate level text for courses in deflagration, detonation, and propulsion.
