The results of experimental studies on stabilization of convective bur
ning of energetic materials (explosives and propellants) with low poro
sity (2-15%) are reviewed, The mechanisms and conditions of stabilizat
ion of the process are considered, a great body of experimental data o
n the characteristics of quasisteady convective burning is presented,
the major factors affecting the stability and propagation velocity of
convective burning are indicated.
