Wave Shape with Charge Length in Nonideal Detonation

The detonation-head model summarized by Cook on pp 105 06 pp 120-22 is described here under Detonation (and Explosion), Initiation Shock Processes. Detonation Head and Detonation Edge, p D417 

In the same Chapter 5 of Cook are discussed Blast Contours (pp 106-11), 

Free Surface Velocity (pp 111-16) [See our description under Detonation (and Explosion), Pressures of and Their Measurements, p487] and Billard Ball Mechanism of Vf (t),
