Résumé : We study the effects of the nuclear network detail and of the flow divergence on the reaction zone of thermonuclear detonations in the 50%-50% Carbon-Oxygen plasma at initial temperature and density 2 × 108 K and 5 × 106 g cm-3. We show that the total or intermediate ideal combustion lengths can be 200 times smaller than with the reduced networks used so far and we identify two low-velocity, curved-detonation regimes with incomplete combustion.
