deflagrate
Deflagrate refers to the process of burning or causing to burn rapidly using intense heat, often accompanied by a significant release of gas and light. This term is frequently used in the context of explosives, pyrotechnics, and propellants. Unlike detonation, which entails a supersonic exothermic front, deflagration is typically a subsonic combustion phenomenon.
