Detonation induction distances were determined in 9-mm detonation tube at initial pressure of 1 atm at ambient temperature for hydrogen-oxygen mixtures flowing at initial velocities ranging from 0 to 100 m/sec, and for methane-oxygen mixtures flowing at velocities from 0 to 30 m/sec; induction distances for hydrogen-oxygen mixtures decrease linearly with logarithm of Reynolds number based on initial linear gas velocity; results show induction distance of detonation wave propagating upstream is shorter than that of wave propagating downstream; applicability to rocket engine combustion.
