Detonation Waves Transients in Propagation of Transient, Anomalous, and Metastable (Unstable) Detonation Waves - One of the 

Transient detonation phenomena are numerous and varied. Jones Mitchell (Ref 21a) observed such deton in low density 

The transient phenomena occurred not only in the nonideal region but extended also well into the ideal detonation region in Tetryl, but disappeared in EDNA when deton became ideal. This can be observed in Fig 3.11 and 3.12 of Ref 52, p 53 

Similar but somewhat complicated tran-s ient phenomena) have been observed by Allen, Cook and Pack (Ref 44b) in fine-, grained, loose TNT mixture of fine and coarse loose TNT and in cast TNT.
