• Merge Velocity of detonation with Explosive velocity
• Result: Merged

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.
