However, we have only validated it with numerical and experimental data in the case of spherical detonations.
Furthermore, only accelerated detonation waves were treated since only converging cylindrical or spherical flow was considered.
Only for highly overcompressed detonation waves does the influence of the chemical reaction vanish.
A detonation wave has traveled to the right and it is in the process of collapsing the liner, which is shown in the figure.
It then remains close to steady, indicating a spherical detonation has been successfully initiated.
The application to cylindrical and planar detonations is speculative and the possible subject of further research.
The unburned gas mixture in front of the detonation wave is at rest.
This is true for all particles before detonation failure, that is, all in figure 7 except particle path 10.
