Abstract: A plane, unsupported, Chapman-Jouguet detonation in a condensed explosive drives a decelerating shock into a semi-infinite inert of lower shock impedance. A previously reported exact solution for a portion of this one-dimensional time-dependent problem is extended to the entire flow field, and some numerical results are given. The solution has the form of a small set of first-order ordinary differential equations for the shock, and a similar set for each particle path.
