The 30 pages that link to Detonation, each with the reason it gives.

• CombustionCompared with: It contrasts with ordinary flame propagation, which is subsonic.

• Shock waveCompared with: A detonation couples a shock to a reaction, unlike a shock alone.

• GunpowderCompared with: Unlike ordinary gunpowder deflagration, detonation couples reaction to a supersonic shock.

• DeflagrationCompared with: Unlike deflagration, detonation is supersonic and driven by shock compression.

• PyrotechnicsCompared with: It differs from the subsonic burning used in many pyrotechnic effects.

• Engine knockingCompared with: Knock produces pressure waves, but it is not necessarily a self-sustaining detonation.

• ExplosiveCompared with: Detonation is the shock-coupled reaction mode responsible for explosives’ strongest blasts.

• Thermobaric weaponCompared with: Its rapid shock-driven reaction contrasts with the fuel-air combustion central to thermobaric effects.
