Hydrocode Modeling of Deflagration and Detonation with Dynamic Compaction of a Granular Explosive: Cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine, HMX

abstract: The study of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in explosives is of prime importance with regards to insensitive munitions (IM). Critical damage owing to thermal or shock stimuli could translate to significant loss of life and material. The present study models detonation and defl...
