- Merge Velocity of detonation with Explosive velocity
- Result: Merged
September 2006
I say we merge these beasts, hopefully increaseing the length and depth along the way. mastodon 22:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Agree - Scottyknu
- Agree - Lti
- Well I would have expectedd explosive velocity to contain material on detonations, deflagrations and blast waves, rather than just detonations. Bob aka Linuxlad (sorry, can't find tilde on this Dell}
- Hi, is there any different bettwen velocity of detonation and velocity of blast wave?
- Agree - Phsyco_kid
Well yes (IIRC) - a detonation is in steady-state, sustained by a continuing energy source (from the explosion reaction). A Blast wave, though also headed by a strong shock, is from the deposition of a finite amount of energy right back at t=0+. Eventually it settles down to being a weak shock then a sound wave. Courant & Friedriechs is the book (or Landau & Lifschitz) if you can get hold of them. Bob aka Linuxlad
- Agree - Aevangelica
Though they refer to separate properties, they are intrinsically linked, and one would benefit from an explanation of both and how they relate.

Significance?
editThe article doesn't really discuss what the significance of explosive velocity is, that is to say, why people would care about it. Is a higher explosive velocity uniformly a more desirable attribute for an explosive, for example? I'd hope the article would answer these questions. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 02:41, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Shock vs detonation velocity
editWhat is the difference between shock and detonation velocity? Technically there is a difference I think (shock front vs chemical reaction front) but in steady state burning conditions they should be identical. Are they always identical? Danski14(talk) 18:38, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
