  4. Abstract:
  5. The existence of travelling wave solutions to equations of a viscous, heat-conducting combustible fluid is proved. The reactions are assumed to be one step exothermic reactions with a natural discontinuous reaction rate function. The problem is studied for a general gas. Instead of assuming the ideal gas conditions we consider a general thermodynamics which is described by a fairly mild set of hypotheses. The existence proof of travelling waves for Chapman-Jouguet detonation reduces to finding specific heteroclinic orbits of a discontinuous system of ordinary differential equations; these heteroclinic orbits connect a rest point corresponding to unburnt state to that of the burnt state. The existence proof for heteroclinic orbits corresponding to Chapman-Jouguet detonation waves is carried out by some general topological arguments in ordinary differential equations theory
