The detonation of fine aluminum-oxygen mixtures was numerical simulated using a hybrid combustion model. The emphasis was laid on the influence of the decomposition of Al2O3 on the detonation structure. Results showed that including the decomposition of Al2O3 will limit the gas temperature behind the detonation wave below a certain value. On the other hand, a double-wave structure will appear in the pressure profiles in cases with rich-dust condition if the decomposition of Al2O3 is not included.
