Modelling detonation waves in heterogeneous energetic materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
The computation of detonation waves in heterogeneous explosives involves compressible multiphase mixtures due to the chemical decomposition of the energetic material as well as its heterogeneous initial formulation. Also material interfaces are present between the explosive and the surrounding inert or reactivematerials.Wedevelop anewmethod for the modelling of interface problems andmultiphasemixtures in the particular limit where phases pressures and velocities relax towards equilibrium very fast. This method is a variant of the discrete equations for multiphase mixtures proposed by Abgrall and Saurel [J. Comput. Phys. 186 (2) (2003) 361]. The new discrete model is adapted to reacting flows with mass, momentum and energy transfer. The model is based on the pure material equation of state only (no mixture equation of state is used) for the computation of the reaction zone of detonation waves. The algorithm is full Eulerian and fulfills interface conditions between mixtures and pure materials automatically. It is validated over a set of difficult test problems with exact solution and itsmulti-dimensional capabilities are shownover problems involving a large number ofmaterials. 2003 Elsevier Inc.

Modeling the extreme mechanics of detonation using a Taylor Galerkin Scheme
Design of energetic materials is an exciting area in mechanics and materials science. Energetic composite materials are used as propellants, explosives and fuel cell components. Energy release in these materials are accompanied by extreme events: shock waves travel at typical speeds of several thousand meters per second and the peak pressures can reach hundreds of gigapascals. In this paper, we...
متن کاملWhat Makes a Useable New Energetic Material ?
In the last 50 years, very many new energetic compounds have been made as potential ingredients for explosive, propellant and pyrotechnic formulations. Of these compounds very few have come to be used in military munitions. To obtain a better understanding of why this has been the case and to help address the discrepancy, the NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Centre (NIMIC) held a workshop...

This review presents a concept, which assumes that thermal decomposition processes play a major role in defining the sensitivity of organic energetic materials to detonation initiation. As a science and engineering community we are still far away from having a comprehensive molecular detonation initiation theory in a widely agreed upon form. However, recent advances in experimental and theoreti...

An inviscid model for deflagration-to-detonation transition in granular energetic materials is extended by addition of explicit intraphase momenta and energy diffusion so as to ~1! enable the use of a straightforward numerical scheme, ~2! avoid prediction of structures with smaller length scales than the component grains, and ~3! have a model prepared to describe long time scale transients that...
