The detonation reaction zone of nitromethane (NM) has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically. The measured particle velocity profile of NM shows the existence of a sharp spike followed by a rapid drop over the first 5-10 ns (fast reaction). The sharp spike is followed by a gr...
