Multispectral optical depth measurements in post-detonation high explosive fireballs
… depth measurements were made in post-detonation fireballs from five different high explosives. PETN, HMX-based PBXN-5, RDX, an 80% RDX/20% aluminum mixture, and PETN-based Primasheet 1000 explosives were detonated in a 2.18L explosive test chamber. Charges were 125mg or 250mg explosive output …

Using optical techniques to measure aluminum burning in post-detonation explosive fireballs
Metals are added to high explosives and propellants to increase the heat of explosion. Aluminum is commonly used because it has a high energy density, is relatively inexpensive, is easy to produce, and has a low toxicity. To optimize the performance and safety of aluminized explosives, it is …

Experimental investigation of optical and electrical properties of various explosive fireballs
Acquiring quantitative experimental data of explosive fireballs at early time scales is crucial for validating 1-D numerical models of spherical charges. While numerical modeling remains a powerful tool for elucidating explosive phenomena, such predictions still require some degree of physical …
