Failure of the Chapman-Jouguet Theory for Liquid and Solid Explosives
Description:
The usual treatment of unsupported detonation, often called the Chapman-Jouguet theory, is based on four assumptions: (1) the detonation approaches a steady state, (2) the flow is laminar and one dimensional, (3) the detonation products approach a state of chemical equilibrium some distance behind the detonation front, and (4) the detonation velocity is the minimum permitted by the conservation conditions. In a recent paper Wood and Fickett (Phys. Fluids 6, 648(1963)) proposed experiments to te…
