Explosives Technology & Modeling
For scientists, engineers, and managers interested in the current state of explosive and propellant technology, and in the use of numerical modeling to evaluate the performance and vulnerability of explosives and propellants.
After an introduction to shock waves, the course continues with a graphic solution of shock matching and explosive technology. The formation and interaction of shock and detonation waves are illustrated using a one-dimensional numerical reactive hydrodynamic code on the IBM-PC-AT personal computer. Methods for evaluating explosive and propellant sensitivity to shock waves are described and applied to vulnerability problems such as projectile impact and burning-to-detonation transitions. Two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic codes for modeling explosive and propellant performance and vulnerability are described and typical applications presented. Hands-on use of a code for evaluating explosive and propellant performance, along with a one-dimensional reactive hydrodynamic code, is provided.
