Confinement
Presently, the article includes this:
"Therefore, the pressure wave produced by a high explosive is not significantly increased by confinement as detonation occurs so quickly that the resulting plasma does not expand much before all the explosive material has reacted."
As a layman---i.e., someone who has never used high explosives---I'm not sure this is quite correct. I suppose, yes, that confinement is unnecessary if "confinement" be taken to mean some sort of artifact, e.g., a metal container or even a container made of heavy paper; but my sense is that a high explosive won't explode if it is not "confined" by, at least, the atmosphere, i.e., by atmospheric pressure. In fact, I wonder whether "detonation" of, say, nitroglycerin can occur if there is no surrounding air through which a shock wave can spread.
Don't know the answers. Am simply hoping someone who knows will address the questions.98.114.190.60 (talk) 98.114.190.60 (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
