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 in Towards detonation theory. Springer, 1999). 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.
