Modeling a high explosive cylinder experiment
Abstract
A series of experiments involving the detonation of PBX 9501 encased in a copper cylinder are modeled with the objective of evaluating a proposed set of phenomenological parameters for the Wescott-Stewart-Davis reactive burn model. The numerical analysis is conducted using the Los Alamos continuum mechanics code FLAG. Initial modeling efforts of the free-surface velocity match the measured velocities reasonably well.
