Abstract

The dynamical behaviour of one-dimensional pulsating detonations was investigated in detail, with the aid of nonlinear theory tools such as phase plots and correlation dimension. The period-doubling cascade, as routes to deterministic chaos, is depicted throughthetransformationsoftheshapesoftheattractors.Usingacorrelationdimension method, the dimension of the attractors is determined and we show that the chaos within a one-dimensional pulsating detonation is deterministic.
