Abstract

This chapter overviews the detonation properties in right circular cylinders of non-ideal HE’s. This requires some understanding of 2-D hydrodynamic flow and modified ZND theory for non-ideal HE’s. This chapter will first cover the modified ZND detonation theory for non-ideal HE’s. Then a review of experimental techniques using right circular cylindrical samples will be presented since detonation science’s understanding is primarily based on the large experimental data base from cylindrical samples. This will be followed by curved detonation front theory for right circular cylindrical samples and a brief overview of select 2-D flow conditions.
