Investigating detonation fronts in small explosive charges using a wave shaper
Understanding detonation front curvature is critical to the successful exploitation of the power of explosives. Changing the detonation front from a diverging spherical wave to a more complex shape allows for substantial increases to the detonation velocity and pressure above the Chapman-Jouguet …

Investigations on detonation shock dynamics
A detonation is a combustion-driven shock wave. Typically, a detonation will consist of an inert shock followed by a region of chemical reaction referred to as the reaction zone. Detonations have a wide variety of engineering applications, from obvious military uses to explosive welding, hard rock …

Parallel algorithms applied to problems in two dimensional detonation shock dynamics
… of a parallel extension for a two-dimensional Detonation Shock Dynamics code, and to demonstrate how it can be applied for solving engineering problems in detonation physics. Detonation Shock Dynamics (DSD) is an asymptotic theory that describes the evolution of a multidimensional curve …

Methods of Diffusing Pulse Detonation Combustion
Pulse detonation combustion has been of interest for many years since it offers several advantages over standard deflagrative combustion. In theory, detonative combustion is a better use of fuel compared to deflagrative combustion since less entropy is generated during a detonation. As a result, …

Detonation modelling of non-ideal high explosives
… useful work. High explosives normally burn via a detonation; a supersonic wave consisting of a shock wave coupled to chemical energy release. Detonations in conventional HE (CHE) propagate with a typical velocity of 6 - 8 km/s. Insensitive HE (IHE) and non-ideal HE (NIHE) are of particular …

Shock compressing liquids on a tabletop microscope, with special focus on detonating nitromethane
… shock compression microscope could produce detonations with properties that are consistent with bomb sized charges. This was not initially obvious, due to the multiple orders of magnitude difference in material amount and shorter input shock duration. Due to the short shock duration (4 ns), …
