The paper is devoted to the analysis of non-steady combustion and detonation in aqueous solutions foamed with the hydrogen-oxygen gaseous mixture. The processes of flame acceleration and transition to detonation are studied experimentally and numerically. Based on complex analysis, the effect of cumulative compression of the reactive gaseous mixture inside collapsing bubbles is proposed to be the mechanism of detonation formation and its further self- sustained propagation. Flame propagation through the foam leads to the compression waves generation. Under the action of compression waves, the gas bubble collapses, and states with high energy densities are achieved inside the bubble. As a result, the ignition inside the bubble takes place that represents a basic mechanism of detonation formation and propagation.
