Abstract The problem is considered concerning the breakdown of an arbitrary discontinuity, due to the emergence of a detonation wave at the boundary of a condensed explosive charge. The real equation of state of the detonation products of Hexogen was used in the numerical calculations. A u vs p diagram is constructed, which allows graphical calculations to be carried out of the discontinuity breakdown for different media. A comparison is carried out of the calculated values of the initial shock-wave velocities with the experimental data obtained at a certain distance from the explosive charge. It is shown that an increase of the pressure of the gas in which dispersion of the explosion products occurs leads to a reduction of the initial shock wave velocity and to an enhancement of its attenuation during its further motion in the shock tube.
