Abstract We consider the numerical solution of an unconfined detonation problem modelled by differential/algebraic equations in a boundary value format. The problem has index one throughout the interval of integration, except at a free boundary point, where it has index two. Moreover, a nonlinear constraint is active at the free boundary point. We consider a simple mathematical model, as well as a more realistic and functionally complex model. In both cases, the resulting boundary value problem is solved directly, using a collocation method. This approach compares favorably with the solution techniques proposed previously in the literature and enables us to examine some interesting properties of the solution to the detonation problem.
