About The Book
This comprehensive Unabridged Edition of Detonation by Wildon Fickett provides an insightful exploration into the theory and experimental findings related to detonation physics. The book primarily focuses on steady detonation waves—time-independent, fully developed waves that occur in reactive media. It carefully separates detonation from other combustion processes by emphasizing that energy transfer in detonation occurs via mass flow in strong compression waves, rather than through heat conduction.

Key topics covered in the book include:

  • Zeldovich–von Neumann–Doering Model: A simple yet crucial theoretical framework for understanding detonation.

  • Flow in Reactive Media: Detailed discussion on how detonation waves interact with the surrounding medium.

  • Nonsteady Detonation: Explores the dynamics of detonations that are not steady, covering the physics behind these variations.

  • Detonation Front Structure: Investigates the intricate transverse structure of detonation waves, explaining how experiments yield results that sometimes contradict theoretical predictions.

Fickett’s work was groundbreaking when it was first published, influencing many in the fields of chemistry, physics, and engineering. This newly corrected edition retains the clarity and accessibility of the original, while offering updates and improvements in explanation and examples.

This book is especially useful for physicists, chemists, engineers, and students interested in gaining a deeper understanding of detonation theory and the complex phenomena associated with detonation waves. It serves as both a detailed reference and an introduction to the principles of detonation and explosive dynamics.
