The Algorithm and Computer Code for Predicting Detonation Wave Parameters of Aluminized Explosives

In this work, the algorithm and computer code, named DETO, used to calculate detonation wave parameters (i.e., velocity of pressure) aluminized explosives, based on chemical equilibrium theory products, hydrodynamic process, Becker - Kistiakowsky Wilson (BKW) equation state. The aluminum (Al) content reacting with products wavefront can be changed according user's assumptions. Compared experimental data for several explosive types, results calculated by DETO have same, even higher accuracy than those other codes previously published. Specifically, mean absolute deviation from is about 2% (VOD) 8% pressure wavefront. addition, study also confirmed that 50% Al powders participate in reaction
