爆轰现象的特点是在很宽的长度和时间尺度上非线性地演变，这一现象为科学研究提供了丰富的机会。它的多尺度特性给实验和计算渲染带来了挑战。它的非线性性质承认一些现象，这是直接解释和其他的谎言容易理解。这些挑战在John HS Lee的《爆炸现象》中得到了充分的重视和讨论，这是一本新的专著，用作者的话来说，重点是“描述爆炸现象，解释爆炸波自我维持传播的物理和化学过程，允许确定爆炸状态的流体动力学理论，边界条件对爆炸传播的影响，以及爆炸如何在炸药中引发。”这些都是有价值的目标，作者令人钦佩地成功地实现了这些目标。这是一本有重点的书：气相爆炸的科学，重点是对观测结果的机械解释。未详细考虑凝聚相材料中的爆炸，也未详细考虑依赖于爆炸的装置的工程。这本书是可访问的读者谁有理解在一个先进的本科水平的气体动力学和兴趣的反应流体力学。这将是有用的研究生文本在一个类致力于气相爆炸，也为任何专业人士，包括许多读者的冲击波，有兴趣在爆炸科学。这位作者的资历无可挑剔，他发表了
The phenomenon of detonation, characterized by features which evolve non-linearly over a wide range of length and time scales, is one which provides a rich opportunity for scientific study. Its multiscale nature brings with it challenges for both experimental and computational rendering. Its nonlinear nature admits some phenomena which are straightforward to explain and others which belie easy understanding. These challenges are appreciated and discussed vigorously in John HS Lee’s The Detonation Phenomena, a new monograph focusing in the author’s words on giving “a description of the detonation phenomenon, explaining the physical and chemical processes responsible for the self-sustained propagation of the detonation wave, the hydrodynamic theory that permits the detonation state to be determined, the influence of boundary conditions on the propagation of the detonation, and how detonations are initiated in the explosive.” These are worthwhile goals, and the author succeeds admirably in reaching them.This is a book with a focus: the science of gas phase detonations with an emphasis on mechanistic explanation of observations. Detonation in condensed phase materials is not considered in detail, nor is engineering of devices relying on detonations. The book is accessible to a reader who has understanding at an advanced undergraduate level of gas dynamics and an interest in reactive fluid mechanics. It would be useful as a graduate text in a class devoted to gas phase detonation, and also for any professional, including many readers of Shock Waves, with an interest in detonation science. The author’s qualifications are impeccable; he has published
