detonation velocity

Detonation velocity is the speed at which a shockwave travels through an explosive material during a detonation. It reflects how quickly the explosive reaction spreads, influencing its power and stability. A higher detonation velocity indicates a faster, more energetic reaction, which often correlates with a more powerful explosion. This measure is important in applications like mining, demolition, and military uses, as it helps determine how effectively an explosive will perform in a given situation.
