This research quantifies the evolution of pressure for fast burning regimes characterized by various degrees of compressibility and involving turbulent flames and shocks. The experimental exploration is conducted in a Turbulent Shock Tube facility, where the level of flame compressibility is controlled by varying the equivalence ratio of the hydrogen-air mixture. High-speed particle image velocimetry, chemiluminescence, schlieren, and pressure measurements are simultaneously acquired to capture the rise in stagnation pressure for various regimes from fast flames to shock-flame complexes. The pressure and velocity measurements are used to analyze combustion regimes on the Rankine-Hugoniot diagram that shows the flame-driven compression for a range of fast flame conditions evolving toward detonation onset. Various levels of compression are dependent on the level of shock-flame coupling and flame velocities. Lower degrees of compressibility show 52% efficiency of an ideal ZND cycle with 40% thermal efficiency, while shock-flame complexes are shown to produce 81% of the work produced by an ideal ZND cycle with 53% thermal efficiency.
