Summary

This advanced and specialized introduction to the hydrodynamics of detonation offers a theoretical and observational overview. It explores the "simple theory" and experimental tests of the theory; flow in a reactive medium; steady detonation; the nonsteady solution; and the structure of the detonation front. Many simple cases are worked out for illustration. 1979 edition.
