Abstract
A stability analysis is carried out taking into account slightly porous walls in an idealized detonation confined to a circular pipe. The analysis is carried out using the normalmode approach and corrections are obtained to the underlying impenetrable wall case results to account for the effect of the slight porosity. The porous walls are modelled by an acoustic boundary condition for the perturbations linking the normal velocity and the pressure components and thus replacing the conventional no-penetration boundary condition at the wall. This new boundary condition necessarily complicates the derivation of the stability problem with respect to the impenetrable wall case. However, exploiting the expressly slight porosity, the modified temporal stability can be determined as a two-point boundary value problem similar to the case of a non-porous wall.
