Abstract

The transition of a system of partial differential equations which describe the stationary flow behind the shock–wave front of a detonation complex upon detonation of a cylindrical charge to a system of ordinary differential equations is performed by means of the series expansion in terms of the radial variable. The necessary equations for determination of the derivatives of solutions with respect to the parameters and the initial conditions for them are formulated. Imposing the condition of continuous extendibility of the solutions leads to equations that allow one to determine the shape of a shock–wave front as a function of wave velocity.
