Abstract In this study, the regimes of detonation transmission through a single orifice plate were investigated systematically in a 6-m length and 90-mm inner diameter round tube. A series of experiments on the detonation propagation mechanisms in hydrogen-air mixtures were performed. A single obstacle with different orifice size (d) from 10 to 60 mm was adopted to study the effects of the induced perturbations on the detonation propagation. Here, the thickness of orifice plate (δ) was fixed at 10.33 mm. Detonation velocity was determined from the time-of-arrival (TOA) of the detonation wave recorded by eight high-speed piezoelectric pressure transducers (PCB102B06). Detonation cellular size was obtained by the smoked foil technique. The characteristic of detonation velocity evolution were quantitatively analyzed after it passes through a single obstacle, and particular attention was paid to the cases for which the blockage ratio (BR) is greater than 0.9, i.e., the cases of small hole diameter of d   1 where λ is the detonation cell size.
