In this article we use statistical tools to describe the strong role of detonation confinement on the velocity and set of thermodynamics states in detonating flows. We examine both dimensionality (1D, 2D, and 3D), and the width of 2D channels and shape of 3D channels. Dimensionality has a major effect of velocity and thermodynamic states, while size and shape have a more minor effect.
