Abstract
A weakly nonlinear analysis of cellular detonations at onset of the instability against transverse disturbances is carried out in the Newtonian limit at strong overdrive. A nonlinear integral-differential equation describing the formation of cusps representative of Mach-stems on the detonation front is obtained as an asymptotic solution of the reactive Euler equations. A numerical study of this equation exhibits patterns that are similar to the cellular structures observed experimentally in gaseous detonation waves.
