Description for The Detonation Phenomenon
hardcover. This book introduces the detonation phenomenon for engineers with a background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Num Pages: 400 pages, 225 b/w illus. 7 tables. BIC Classification: TGMF; TTP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 253 x 177 x 26. Weight in Grams: 97.
This book introduces the detonation phenomenon in explosives. It is ideal for engineers and graduate students with a background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The material is mostly qualitative, aiming to illustrate the physical aspects of the phenomenon. Classical idealized theories of detonation waves are presented first. These permit detonation speed, gas properties ahead of and behind the detonation wave, and the distribution of fluid properties within the detonation wave itself to be determined. Subsequent chapters describe in detail the real unstable structure of a detonation wave. One-, two-, and three-dimensional computer simulations are presented along with experimental results using ...

Reviews for The Detonation Phenomenon
'The Detonation Phenomenon by Professor John H. S. Lee is intended for engineers and graduate students with backgrounds in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. It fulfills that mission perfectly. The book is an excellent, thorough review of the basic experimental and theoretical aspects of gas phase detonation.' Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics 'The mathematical material is broadly accessible to undergraduate ... Read more
