The article presents some results of a numerical study of detonation waves in gas suspensions with a spatially inhomogeneous distribution of particle concentration in sharply expanding pipes obtained by the large particle method. The purpose of the research is to study the influence of pipeline geometry and longitudinally spatially inhomogeneous distribution of particle concentration on the propagation of detonation waves in gas suspensions. It is shown that the size of the narrow and wide parts of the pipeline, as well as, the spatially inhomogeneous distribution of particle concentrations, qualitatively and quantitatively affect this process. Three detonation modes have been identified: continuous wave propagation, complete cessation, and partial disruption with subsequent recovery. It has been established that, at a fixed total mass of suspension, a layer with a linearly decreasing law of change in the concentration of unitary fuel particles better attenuates detonation waves than with a linearly increasing and homogeneous one.
