Abstract⎯This work considers issues related to the numeric simulation of high-speed combustion and deto-
nation of mixtures of carbonic fuel with air. Model problems are used to study the applicability of global
kinetic mechanisms to describe the detonation of a propane-air fuel mixture. Problems of finding equilibrium
adiabatic lines, determining Chapman-Jouguet detonation parameters, and the simulation of the structure of
a stationary detonation wave were considered. Applying global kinetic mechanisms with irreversible chemical
reactions may lead to overestimation of the detonation velocity and temperature of combustion products.
