Depending on the obstacle height and spacing, as well as on the vertical height of the channel, one or more of the above-described mechanisms can occur. However, the propagation mechanism comprises continuous reinitiation and attenuation by diffraction around the obstacles. This mechanism essentially is identical to that of a normal detonation, where reinitiation occurs when the transverse waves collide and the reinitiated wave fails between collisions. In quasi-detonations, the reinitiation is controlled by obstacles. In general, the obstacles and walls provide surfaces for the reflection and diffraction of shock and detonation waves.

DETONATION (EXPLOSION AND COMBUSTION), SPHERICAL (Spherical Blast, Spherical Front and Spherical Wave). Spherical detonations (explosion and combustion) are those in which initiation in the center of a charge (preferably spherical in shape) will cause formation of spherical shock and detonation waves. These waves move radially away from the charge into the surrounding medium (gaseous, liquid or solid) in such a manner that particles of their outer boundary (front) are always equidistant from the center of the charge in the manner shown in Fig on p 183 of Vol 2 of Encycl...

Fig 2 shows a typical smear camera wedge record. Characteristically, these traces show the initial shock, the point of transition to high-order detonation, and the high-order detonation. The space and time dimensions are shown. Although the shock and detonation velocities in the expl can be determined from these records, only the coordinates for the high-order detonation, x and t, are normally found. Historically, many analysis techniques have been used, including those used here for data analysis . 

It remains to clarify the internal reasons for Becker s mistake, the deep difference between conditions in shock and detonation waves which causes the inconsistency of transferring the role of heat conduction from one case to the other. 

To treat the subject of thermodynamics adequately would require a whole book, nay indeed a whole encyclopedia. In this article we will present a cursory overview of thermodynamic concepts and refer the reader to standard texts on the subject. Much of the article will be concerned with applications of thermodynamics to expln phenomena and its use, in conjunction with hydrodynamics, in explaining shock and detonation processes...
