Abstract
Detonation is a process of layer-by-layer, supersonic propagation of chemical reactions through an explosive (Figure4.1). According to the generally accepted Zeldovich-von Neumann-Doering (ZND) model of detonation, chemical reactions occur at a definite rate in the chemical reaction zone, under the action of a shock wave (Baum et al., 1975; Berger and Viard, 1962; Chéret, 1979, 1993; Cook, 1958, 1974; Fickett and Davis, 1979; Johansson and Persson, 1970; Mader, 1979; Thévenin, 1978).
