Motion of explosion products behind a detonation wave front

High-speed X-ray transmission tomography for detonation investigation

“…The X-ray method of investigation of the flow of detonation products has for long been applied repeatedly [1][2][3][4]. One of the parameters that can be studied in this way is density distribution in the flow to study.…”

Density distribution of the expanding products of steady-state detonation of TNT

“…As was found in the experiments, the real steadystate detonation parameters referred to the ChapmanJouguet plane and the width of the chemical reaction zone can vary widely depending on experimental conditions [3]. An analysis leads to the conclusion that the detonation wave structure postulated in the detonation model can be reached only asymptotically.…”

“…X-ray techniques have long and extensively been used to study the flow of detonation products [2][3][4][5]. Both perturbing (in X-ray measurements of the displacement of foils placed in HEs) and nonperturbing methods (in direct X-ray photography) have been implemented.…”
