Abstract
The limiting slope of the detonation velocity‐wave front curvature locus for small velocity deficits is obtained under an assumption concerning the ``reaction zone length'' as related to the charge diameter and the radius of curvature of the wave front. The model is an extension to two dimensions of von Neumann's classical theory of the plane wave detonation.Keywords
