text: Zeldovich–Taylor flow (also known as Zeldovich–Taylor expansion wave) is the fluid motion of gaseous detonation products behind Chapman–Jouguet detonation wave. The flow was described independently by Yakov Zeldovich in 1942 and G. I. Taylor in 1950, although G. I. Taylor carried out the work in 1941 that being circulated in the British Ministry of Home Security. Since naturally occurring detonation waves are in general a Chapman–Jouguet detonation wave, the solution becomes very useful in describing real-life detonation waves.
