Part of the book series: High-Pressure Shock Compression of Condensed Matter ((SHOCKWAVE))

Abstract

In a very particular sense, generation of detonation by plane shock has already been approached in §III.6.2, which dealt with the birth of a simple detonation. There we came to conclusions bearing on the local conditions of incipient development of chemical reactions downstream of a shock.
