The paper reports on an experimental study of the cellular structure of detonation waves in hydrogen-methane-air mixtures. Experiments were performed in a 6-m circular cross section tube with inner diameter of 140 mm (full diameter of 170 mm) and a 0.8-m driver section tube with inner diameter of 90 mm. The initial conditions of stoichiometric hydrogen-methane-air mixtures were 1 atm and 293 K with varoius hydrogen content. The average detonation cell size for stoichiometric hydrogen-methane-air mixtures obtained by the smoked foil technique during the experiments was calculated with the 2D Fourier transform. Using the Cantera program, the detonation cell width was computed as a function of initial pressure and molar methane fraction in fuel for a stoichiometric methane-hydrogen-air mixture at initial temperature 295 K. The results of the computations were compared against the experimental results.
