Steady-State, Three-Dimensional, Axially Symmetric with

DETONATION WAVES STEADY-STATE, THREE-DIMENSIONAL, AXIALLY SYMMETRIC, WITH FINIT E REACTION RATE 

Evans Ablow (Ref 66, p 157) in Section V, entitled Three Dimensional, Axially Symmetric, Steady-State Detonation Waves With Finite Reaction Rate stated the following  

The pressures developed in the deton reaction zone in condensed expls are of the order of 103 to 10 atm. Material at such pressures cannot in general be contained, so that the flow behind the front has a component radially outward. Gases, which develop much lower deton pressures (of the order of 10 atm), can be confined in a tube, and for them the one- dimensional approximation is good. The diverging flow is expected and is found experimentally to result in lower pressures and densities within the steady wave, and consequently in lower detonation velocities. 

In Section V,A (Ref 66, p 157) theories are discussed which assume diverging flow in the steady-state zone, whiie in Section V,B those that assume parallel flow within the steady zone 

Wood Kirkwood (Ref 36a) assumed a curved shock front leading a zone which is cylindrically symmetric. Their coordinates were x, coincident with the axis of the cylindrical chge, and r, the radial distance from the axis. The vector mass velocitytf has an axial component u and a radial component . Fig 3Oof Ref 66, p 157 is a sketch of the flow in a coordinate system which moves with.the deton wave. Here = space coordinate within reaction wave

Under this term ate known waves which ate generated by condensed expls developing such high pressures (10s to l05atm) iQ the detonation reaction that the flow behind the front has a component radially outward Evans Ablow (Ref 66) described three-dimensional waves under the titles "Three-Dimensional, Axially Symmetric, Steady-State Detonation Waves With Finite Reaction Rate (pp 157-67), and Three-Dimensional, Transient Detonation Waves (pp 173-75)...
