reaction zone follows immediately behind the lead front, the Chapman-Jouguet condition.

There is also some evidence that the reaction zone is semi-metallic in some explosives.

Both theories describe one-dimensional and steady wavefronts. However, in the 1960s, experiments revealed that gas-phase detonations were most often characterized by unsteady, three-dimensional structures, which can only, in an averaged sense, be predicted by one-dimensional
