This book introduces the detonation phenomenon in explosives. It is
ideal for engineers and graduate students with a background in
thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The material is mostly
qualitative, aiming to illustrate the physical aspects of the
phenomenon. Classical idealized theories of detonation waves are
presented first. These permit detonation speed, gas properties
ahead of and behind the detonation wave, and the distribution of
fluid properties within the detonation wave itself to be
determined. Subsequent chapters describe in detail the real
unstable structure of a detonation wave. One-, two-, and
three-dimensional computer simulations are presented along with
experimental results using various experimental techniques. The
important effects of confinement and boundary conditions and their
influence on the propagation of a detonation are also discussed.
The final chapters cover the various ways detonation waves can be
formed and provide a review of the outstanding problems and future
directions in detonation research.
