We use advanced experimental techniques to explore turbulence-induced deflagration-to-detonation transition (tDDT) in hydrogen–air mixtures. We analyze the full sequence of turbulent flame evolution from fast deflagration-to-detonation using simultaneous direct measurements of pressure, turbulence, and flame, shock, and flow velocities. We show that fast turbulent flames that accelerate and develop shocks are characterized by turbulent flame speeds that exceed the Chapman–Jouguet deflagration speed in agreement with the tDDT theory and direct numerical simulation (DNS) results. Velocity and pressure evolutions are provided to detail the governing mechanisms that drive turbulent flame acceleration. Turbulent flame speeds and fluctuations are examined to reveal flow field characteristics of the tDDT process. This work contributes to the understanding of fundamental mechanisms responsible for spontaneous initiation of detonations by fast turbulent flames.
