Experimental investigations using "streak" and "open - shutter" photographic techniques have been carried out for a system in which a linear detonation wave is made to transmit through a small hole drilled at the centre of a flat plate obstruction. The transmitted wave expands into another tube or cylindrical chamber containing the same mixture at the same initial conditions. From the streak records, results are obtained for the variations of induction distance for transition from deflagration to detonation with initial mixture pressure tor C2H2-O2 mixtures. Qualitative explanations of the structure of the wave expanding downstream of the orifice are given, using the "open - shutter" technique. Coupled with these investigations is a theoretical analysis of the initial motion of a hemispherical detonation when the effects of mass addition at the source are not neglected.[...]
