Abstract

In a cylindrical arrangement as deviced by G. R. Fowles and W. M. Isbell for the generation of Mach‐reflection of shock waves in solids Mach‐reflection of detonation waves in condensed high explosives with different detonation velocities is investigated. The process is observed directly by flash x‐ray radiography. By means of this arrangement it is possible to generate via Mach‐reflection a plane detonation wave, the Mach‐disk. Characteristics and applications of the Mach‐disk are discussed.

## Abstract In an experimental setup two transparent condensed explosives of different detonation velocities are coaxially arranged to give Mach reflection in the low speed explosive (overdriven detonation). Due to the transparent characteristic of the explosive, this setup, with a suitable streak
