Pressure (P)-specific volume (V) diagram of a forced detonation in a plasma of density ρ₀ = 5 × 10⁷ gcm^-3. The Hugoniot curve represents the energy conservation through a shock, the Rayleigh line is the line of mass and momentum conservation and the Crussard curve corresponds to the energy conservation after the nuclear burning is complete. Each blue point is the (P,V) value of a simulation cell from the high resolution code, ASTROLABE. This simulation resolves the reaction zone following the leading shock, while the crosses representing the simulation cells of the code HERACLES, jump directly to the final state. This demonstrates that even without resolving the combustion zone, this code reproduces the correct energetics and dynamics.
