An. Pozhariskii et Ag. Ivanov, EXPLOSIVE INITIATION OF FAST CONVECTIVE COMBUSTION IN A CLOSED VOLUME, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 29(4), 1993, pp. 516-521
We have studied experimentally the explosive initiation of granulated
nitrocellulose taking place under conditions of fast convective combus
tion and low-velocity deformation and marked by a high rate and stabil
ity. The fundamental characteristics of the ignition process have been
determined.
