THEORY OF EXPLOSIONS

Abstract

The report starts out by discussing the physics of explosions in terms of physical concepts and experimental observations. Close affinity between explosion and implosion phenomena and gaseous detonation combustion is shown. The bulk of the report then presents the ground work for the theoretical study of explosions outlining the governing equations, boundary conditions and solutions of specific problems.
