The present volume on the dynamics of gaseous detonations, detonation initiation and transmission, multiphase detonations, and nonideal detonations and boundary effects, discusses the detonability of hydrocarbon fuels in air, the detonation of cryogenic gaseous hydrogen-oxygen mixtures, chemical kinetics-detonation structure correlations for gaseous explosives, the initiation of hydrogen-air detonations by turbulent fluorine-air jets, and the initiation of a detonation wave due to multistage self-ignition. Also discussed are the limit criterion for detonation in circular cubes, oblique detonation at hypersonic velocities, the mechanisms of detonation propagation in porous structures, surface detonations and indirect ignition processes, the detonation of unconfined large-scale fuel-spray/air clouds, the detonation structure of corn starch particles-oxygen mixtures, and the lean detonation limit of sensitized kerosene sprays in air.
