•  Detonation

  Detonation involves an exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it. They are observed in both conventional solid and liquid explosives, as well as in reactive gases. The velocity of detonations in solid and liquid explosives is much higher than that in gaseous ones, which allows far clearer resolution of the wave system in the latter.
