The rapid, violent detonation of a high explosive (HE) generates supersonic shock waves that transfer energy by moving mass. According to Livermore physicist John Molitoris, trying to gather data on ...

Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

Scientists analyzed detonation formation in hydrogen/methane air mixtures, quantifying the effect of non-thermal reactions on the mechanism of detonation Small-displacement turbocharged internal ...
