Brisance
Brisance is the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure.

Chapman–Jouguet condition
The Chapman–Jouguet condition holds approximately in detonation waves in high explosives.

Deflagration
Deflagration (Lat: de + flagrare, "to burn down") is subsonic combustion propagating through heat transfer; hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it.

Detonation
Detonation is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Detonation · See more »
Explosion
An explosion is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Explosion · See more »
Explosive material
An explosive material, also called an explosive, is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

Flame speed
The flame speed is the measured rate of expansion of the flame front in a combustion reaction.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Flame speed · See more »
Force
In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Force · See more »
Gas laws
The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

Gurney equations
The Gurney equations are a set of mathematical formulas used in explosives engineering to relate how fast an explosive will accelerate a surrounding layer of metal or other material when the explosive detonates.

Metre per second
Metre per second (American English: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.

Pressure
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Pressure · See more »
Shell (projectile)
A shell is a payload-carrying projectile that, as opposed to shot, contains an explosive or other filling, though modern usage sometimes includes large solid projectiles properly termed shot.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Shell (projectile) · See more »
Shock wave
In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Shock wave · See more »
Speed of sound
The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Speed of sound · See more »
Table of explosive detonation velocities
This is a list of the detonation velocities at specified (typically, the highest practical) density of various explosive compounds.
New!!: Detonation velocity and Table of explosive detonation velocities · See more »
Velocity
The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.
