Abstract
The paper presents the results of theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations of combustion and detonation initiation in heterogeneous polydispersed mixtures. The problems of fuel droplets atomization, evaporation and combustion, and the nonequilibrium effects in droplets atomization and phase transitions are discussed. The effects of droplets size nonuniformity and spatial distribution nonuniformity on mixture ignition and flame acceleration were investigated for strong and mild initiation of detonation: by a shock wave and spark ignition followed by deflagration to detonation transition (DDT). The features of jet injection and ignition in a reaction chamber are studied.
