by Wildon Fickett (Author)
Introduction to Detonation Theory provides a streamlined and insightful exploration of the mathematical principles underlying compressible flow with chemical reactions, with a special focus on detonation phenomena. Designed as an accessible analog to the full equations of reactive flow, this work strips down the complexities of detonation theory to its essential components, allowing readers to grasp its fundamental properties without being overwhelmed by extraneous details. Drawing inspiration from David Hilbert's principle of simplifying problems to their core, the book emphasizes physical understanding over exhaustive mathematical rigor, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers and a valuable tool for experienced researchers seeking fresh perspectives.
Building on the foundation laid by Detonation by W. Fickett and W. C. Davis, this volume introduces a simplified yet robust theoretical framework for analyzing detonation. It balances theoretical clarity with practical insights, featuring self-contained chapters that guide the reader through the basics of reactive and nonreactive flow while introducing novel qualitative tools. With its emphasis on well-behaved equation-of-state and reaction-rate functions, along with a clear system of figures and references, this book is both an educational primer and a practical resource for advancing the study of detonation physics. Whether you're a beginner exploring the field or an expert looking for innovative theoretical approaches, Introduction to Detonation Theory is an indispensable addition to the study of reactive flow dynamics. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1985.
