The simplest test of detonation is the one-dimensional, gamma-law equation of state, rarefaction wave. Here a slab of material is ignited on one side and a detonation propagates to the other side. For a Chapman-Jouget detonation speed of 0.8 cm/s, it takes 6.25

$\mu$ s for the detonation to travel 5 cm. The rich structure of a multi-dimensional detonation is absent, and a simple rarefaction wave follows the detonation front (e.g., Fickett & Davis 1979). Expansion of material in the rarefaction depends on the boundary condition where the detonation is initiated, which is usually modeled as a freely moving surface or a moving piston. For the Mader problem, a stationary piston is used. In this case, the head of the rarefaction remains at the detonation front since the flow is sub sonic, and the tail of the rarefaction is halfway between the front and the piston. This article, this article, and this article, discuss analytic and numerical solutions for the Mader problem.

The tool in mader.tbz provide solutions as a function of time and position for the Mader verification test case.
