Abstract
Catastrophic explosions in coal pits provided a stimulus for detailed investigations of flame propagation in tubes by scientists in a number of countries at the end of the nineteenth century. One of the most interesting results of these investigations was the discovery of gaseous detonation by two groups of French scientists: Mallard and Le Chatelier [MLC83], and Berthelot and Vieille [BV83]. The detonation wave is quite different from all other types of flame propagation. It propagates with a constant supersonic velocity particular to each gas mixture: this velocity is independent of the tube material, length, and diameter, provided that it exceeds some limiting value for each mixture composition.
