Abstract
A chemically reactive material or mixture can undergo various combustion modes from low-speed flame (cm/s to m/s) to high-speed detonation (km/s) (e.g., [128, 191, 46, 77]). The initiation of a flame or detonation has a threshold character, where the minimum energy ensuring 100% initiation is a fundamental dynamic parameter called the critical energy. While a weak initiation is commonly used for a flame ignition, direct initiation of an unconfined detonation requires a strong ignition source. While many principles of detonation dynamics are applicable to both gas and condensed-phase reactive materials, this chapter will focus on the gas mixtures.
