An experimental study of the detonation in gaseous nitromethane (NM) and nitromethane-oxygen mixtures has exhibited unambiguously the existence of a double cellular structure in the range of equivalence ratiofrom 1.3 to 1.75 (NM). Calculations of the reaction zone of the detonation in the same range of equivalence ratio, using a detailed chemical scheme in the ZND model, demonstrate that the chemical energy is released in two main successive distinct exothermic reaction steps characterized by their own induction length which justifies the existence of a two levels detonation cellular structure. This result strengthens the idea that the cellular detonation structure finds its origin in instabilities amplified by delayed local high energy release rate inside the reaction zone.
