Fig. 1 The interaction of a detonation with a diffuse interface is illustrated with supporting observations from experimental images. A detonation wave (a) interacts with the diffuse interface and forms a curved wave (b). Upon exiting the combustible mixture, the detonation decouples completely resulting in a transmitted shock and TMZ (c) and (d). When the shock reaches the endwall it reflects (e) and interacts for a second time with the interface.
