Stationary-, Standing-, or Stabilized Detonation Waves

Detonation Waves, Stabilized- or Standing. See under Detonation Waves, Stationary., Standing-, or Stabilized 

Detonation Waves, Stationary, Stand -ing-, or Stabilized. Under these terms are known waves which remain stationary relative to laboratory coordinates According to Nicholls et al (Refs 63, 

79 82) such waves can be attained when a gaseous combustible mixture in a flame tube or in a shock tube is accelerated to the appropriate velocity, pressure, and temperature conditions and then subjected to a shock wave. The ensuing complicated phenomenon can vary somewhat between different experimental environments or from similar results obtd in shock tubes. In order to understand the reasons for these differences so that the shock-combustion wave could be better comprehended, Nicholls et al, examined results previously reported in the literature and compared them with results obtd in their laboratory from shock tubes and ballistic range 

Theory of stationary detonation waves was discussed by Kistiakowsky in Kirk Othmer s Encyclopedia), Vol 5, pp 952-55 (Ref 24). Theory of structure and stability of deton waves was examined before 1952 at the USBurMines (Ref 27). Stability of detonation waves at low pressure was examined by Fay (Ref 74). In Russia stability of deton waves was examined by Zaidel (Ref 70) and by Istratov et al (Ref 102)
