EXPLOSION WAVE

Specialty Definition: EXPLOSION WAVE

DomainDefinition

Mining

The wave or flame that passes through a uniform gaseous mixture with a permanent maximum velocity. The rate of the explosion wave is a definite physical constant for each mixture. The explosion wave travels with the velocity of sound in the burning gas, which itself is moving rapidly forward en masse in the same direction, so that the explosion wave is propagated far more rapidly than sound travels in the unburned gas.
