The hydrodynamic process in which a discontinuity (or shock wave) with chemical reactions propagates along an explosive at a speed greater than that of sound in the material. The shock wave is transmitted into the explosion, and a high-speed chemical reaction is generated in the compressed thin layer of explosion, releasing a large amount of heat energy to support the continuous propagation of the shock wave. This type of shock wave with high-speed chemical reactions is called a detonation wave. After the detonation wave passes through, the original explosion product becomes a gas detonation product with high temperature, high pressure and high energy density, which expands rapidly and compresses, throws or destroys the surrounding objects.
