Mixtures of crystalline explosive and water have as a rule detonation properties different from the dry material. It has been shown that the character of those changes is closely related to the structure of the particles (crystals, granules) of the explosives. The critical diameters and detonation velocities have been measured for a range of explosive‐water mixtures, and the results are interpreted in terms of the hotspot theory.
