The effect of turbulence and inhomogeneities on the propagation of a 3-dimensional detonation is studied in a practical configuration. An in-house Navier-Stokes solver using detailed H_2-O_2 chemistry is first validated on known test-cases, then used on the target calculation. The geometry chosen is that of a linearized RDE with non premixed injection, operating at low initial pressure and temperature. The results are analyzed with an emphasis on two important metrics describing the nature of the detonation, shock front velocity and induction length.
