Abstract
The nonstationary combustion of gasifying condensed systems behind the stability limit of stationary combustion is studied numerically using the Belyaev–Zel'dovich model with first‐order chemical reactions in the condensed and gas phases. The stability limit of constant‐pressure stationary combustion is found. A pressure change results in a sequence of period‐doubling bifurcations for burning‐rate oscillations. A chaotic combustion regime occurs after the fourth bifurcation.
