Popis: This study investigated the propagation behaviors of quasi-detonations in a round tube filled with repeated perforated plates. Stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at different initial pressures were tested. Photodiodes and soot foil were used to record detonation velocity and cellular structure between two adjacent perforated plates. The orifice diameter ( d ), hole spacing ( l ) of the perforated plate and the obstacle spacing ( S ) were varied. The results show that the ratio of the overall jet diameter ( D 0 , defined as the diameter of the circumcircle of the orifices) to the detonation cell size ( λ ) is in the range of 12–14 for the occurrence of Chapman-Jouguet detonations. The combustion regimes are affected by l / d , i.e., smaller l / d results in higher combustion velocity. At the detonation propagation limits, the results confirm the criterion L / λ > 7, in which L = ( S + D ) / [ 2 ( 1 − 1 − B R ) ] , D and B R are, respectively, the tube diameter and blockage ratio of the perforated plate.
