NUMERICAL MODELING OF EXPLOSIVES AND PROPELLANTS, by Charles L. Mader, incorporates the changes that the personal computer has brought to numerical modeling since Numerical Modeling of Detonations was published in 1979. Both an introduction to the physics and chemistry of energetic materials and a guide to numerical modeling of detonation and fluid dynamics, the book offers scientists and engineers a complete picture of the current state of the art. The accompanying CD ROM contains computer codes which are the standard by which modeling is evaluated.
