Abstract
The solutions of Wood and Adamson for steady state detonation wave structure are discussed with particular attention given to the hot boundary where combustion is complete. Unimolecular, irreversible reaction kinetics, with an ignition temperature, and small rate parameter are assumed. An alternate solution based on Wood's analysis is presented which agrees with Wood's and Adamson's results when the hot boundary Mach number is less than unity. The solution presented here does not agree with that of Wood when the hot boundary Mach number is unity. We find that u ∼ 1 + const (log x)−1 as x → 0 when the hot boundary Mach number is unity. u is the reduced velocity; x is the mass concentration of combustible.
