Gas pase detonations: Recent developments

This review is intended to be exhaustive and at the same time modern in its approach. While it was intended to cover all recent work on gas phase detonations the review also emphasizes the newer quantitative approach to the study of detonation structure, in which concepts from the field of reactive gas dynamics are extensively applied to all phases of detonation research. In the reviewer's opinion two major conclusions may be drawn from the recent results. These are: (1) the Chapman Jouguet criterion is at present unjustifiable (even though it is still useful for estimating global effects), and (2) virtually all extant detonation problems may be handled with the assumption that the flow is locally non-steady and contains infinitely thin unreactive shock discontinuities followed by inviscid reactive flow regimes.
