3. Gas-phase detonation
3.1 Nature of the phenomenon
According to Van Tiggelen and De Soete , it is the supersonic velocity of propagation that enables detonation to be considered as a particular modality of explosion. In most cases, the same explosive gas mixture is capable of both deflagration and detonation, and it is the operating conditions that determine one or the other form of explosion.
Operating conditions can therefore be expected to have a major influence on detonation limits, including gas composition, pressure, enclosure size and shape,...
