Flow in a Chapman-Jouguet Detonation

Detonation, Structure of Some Liquid Explosives in was discussed by T.P. Cotter in his Thesis, Cornell Univ, Ithaca, NY, Sept 

Detonation, Supported Shock Wave in. See under DETONATION (AND EXPLOSION), SHOCK WAVE IN 

In Dunkle s Syllabus (Ref 7, p 259) it is stated that the overdriven wave can be defined as one moving at higher than normal velocity  

Penney (Ref 1, p 3) stated that in any freely tunning detonation, the velocity must obey the Chapman-Jouguet condition, but if the explosive products are forced forward by a constraint which moves at a velocity greater than (D—c), where D and c are the 

Dunkle stated (Ref 7, p 281) that a higher rate of detonation is a general result when the deton front is concave forward. Poulter (Ref 5) reported that studies at SRI of the velocity of convergent detonation fronts have indicated a relationship in the following form
