Note: This problem was worked out a long time ago by Zel'dovich and Shchelkin (1940) and later by Gandel'man. The theory is presented in Zel'dovich and Kompaneets, Theory of Detonation, 1960, pp. 109-120. An independent derivation is given by G. I. Taylor in his article "Gas Dynamics of Combustion and Detonation" in Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics, High-Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion, Vol. III, 1958, pp. 645-653. JES 24 June 1993.
