In the case of spherically symmetric chemical burning, only very special hydrodynamical detonation solutions exist. These are the so-called Jouguet detonations, in which the burning front moves at sound velocity with respect to the burnt matter. Usually it is believed that the situation is similar in the case of bubble growth in cosmological phase transitions. In this paper it is shown that actually a much larger class of detonation solutions exists in cosmological phase transitions.
