Numerical Modeling of Heterogeneous High Explosives

Explosively driven particle fields imaged using a high speed framing camera and particle image velocimetry

“…The combination of experimental data with numerical simulations yields a greater understanding of particle and shock interaction in gaseous media. Numerical shock wave investigations of this type have been reviewed by Saito et al (2003), Zhang et al (2003), Engelhardt (2008), Donahue et al (2007) and Dunbar et al (2011) for modeling specific to this research. An additional review of momentum transfer due to the interaction of shock waves with solid particles was reviewed by Zhang et al (2003) where the relationships of particle shock interaction time and velocity relaxation time was described.…”
