Photonic Doppler velocimetry and digital high-speed shadowgraphy have been used to characterize the chemical reaction zone parameters of pressed trinitrotoluene (TNT) samples with an initial density of 1.568 g cm − 3 . Comparison of the nanosecond time-resolved particle velocity histories of the free surfaces of detonating charges in air and light vacuum and of the interfaces between TNT detonation products and lithium fluoride or polymethyl methacrylate windows allow one to bracket the von Neumann spike pressure between 24.8 and 28.8 GPa. Our velocity waveforms confirm the two-step reaction pathway already observed in TNT, triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB), and nitromethane, with a first fast energy release over 80 ns followed by a slower release over 250 additional ns. We consider the end of the first release zone as the locus of the Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) state, and the CJ pressure thus lies between 17.6 and 17.7 GPa. The energy release is not completed in this Jouguet plane but only after about ≈ 280 ns when the carbon cluster formation process ends. This corresponds to both the end of the slow release part of the interface velocity profiles and to the moment at which the free surface velocity profiles reach their maximum. Our shadowgraphy images confirm that carbon formation occurs very rapidly after the detonation breakout, in good agreement with previous time-resolved small-angle x-ray scattering measurements. The comparison with similar results previously obtained on TATB allows one to further highlight their similarities, which mainly result from their excess carbon production at late times.
