Abstract

The paper is an extension of our recent work on the deflagration- todetonation transition in narrow channels over the transition in narrow circular tubes under more realistic point ignition conditions. The changes from channel to circular tube geometry and from planar to point ignition result in enhancement of the incipient acceleration of the flame and reduction of the predetonation time and distance.
