Abstract: A physical model of low-velocity detonation in plasticized HMX is considered. In this model, a low-velocity detonation wave is a combination of a weak leading shock wave and a subsequent compression wave. This combination is formed by the simultaneous effects of energy release and spreading of the reacting medium. The main features of low-velocity detonation observed in experiments are reproduced in two-dimensional calculations.

Keywords: low-velocity detonation, hot spots, two-dimensional hydrocode, threshold of initiation, side unloading.
