Detonation Theory

Detonation Theory is a branch of physical chemistry and fluid dynamics that describes the propagation of exothermic shock waves in reactive media, distinguished by its focus on the self-sustaining mechanism of energy release and compression wave interaction during high-speed combustion processes.
