Direct Monte-Carlo simulation of developing detonation in gas

The research on gaseous detonation has recently become a very important issue, mainly due to safety reasons in connection with increasing use of gaseous fuels. To simulate detonation, the Direct Monte-Carlo Simulation technique has been proposed, together with simple model of molecular collisions, making it possible to heat the gas in a way similar to the processes in the flame. Such model is capable of producing waves, having the features characteristic for detonation (Dremin [2]). In the present work the influence of finite reaction time and the inverse reaction upon formation and extinguishing detonation, in the framework of this model, has been investigated.
