Deflagration is a term used in chemistry and physics to describe a type of combustion process that occurs at subsonic speeds. In deflagration, the combustion wave moves through the unburned fuel at a velocity less than the speed of sound in that medium. This process typically involves the rapid but controlled burning of gases or solids in the presence of an oxidizer, generating heat and light.
