Combustion effects in confined explosions

Combustion Effects in Confined Explosions

Spherical Combustion Clouds in Explosions (Rev 5a)

This study investigates combustion clouds embedded in unconfined spherical explosions. Two charge configurations are considered: a 0.5-g spherical PETN booster surrounded by a spherical shell of either 1-g of TNT solid or of 1-g of Aluminum (Al) powder; these provide the fuel for the combustion process. Detonation of booster disperses the fuel, whose expansion drives a blast wave into the surro...

Spectral Signatures of Gravitationally Confined Thermonuclear Supernova Explosions

We consider some of the spectral and polarimetric signatures of the gravitational confined detonation scenario for Type Ia supernova explosions. In this model, material produced by an off-center deflagration (which itself fails to produce the explosion) forms a metal-rich atmosphere above the white dwarf surface. Using hydrodynamical simulations, we show that this atmosphere is compressed and a...

Effects of Strong Explosions

s of the original Soviet research papers arranged according to fairly general subject areas. The abstracts vary in length depending on the degree of pertinence and significance of the individual papers. Their purpose is primarily to call attention to the work being done in the USSR on the given subject. Part B combines studies on more specialized topics, each based on a number of closely relate...
