This book delves into the mathematical theory of deflagrations and detonations, a subject crucial to understanding the principles of combustion and explosions. The author, a renowned mathematician, investigates the propagation of reaction processes under various conditions, taking into account heat conduction, viscosity, and the finite rate of chemical reactions. The book is notable for its systematic and rigorous approach, grounded in the well-established theory of shock waves. Through a detailed analysis of the governing differential equations, the author establishes the conditions under which deflagrations and detonations can occur, challenging the previously held assumptions known as the Chapman-Jouguet hypothesis. This book not only provides a comprehensive framework for understanding these phenomena but also offers valuable insights into the intricate interplay between physical and chemical processes. It is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of combustion, fluid dynamics, and chemical kinetics, as well as for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles governing the propagation of reactions.
