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 …

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 …
