This article reviews advances in modeling condensed-phase explosive detonation waves
and their interaction with inerts for precision applications. We describe how constitutive data …

Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (ANFO) based explosive is a classic example of non-ideal
high explosives. Its detonation is characterized by a strong dependence of detonation …

Blasting has been widely used in mining and construction industries for rock breaking.
Ground vibration induced by blasting is an inevitable side effect that may cause damage to …

The propagation of detonations in layers of reactive gas bounded by inert gas is simulated
computationally in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems described by the two …

Experiments were conducted to characterize the detonation phase-velocity dependence on
charge thickness for two-dimensional detonation in condensed-phase explosive slabs of …

As detonation is a coupled fluid-chemical process, flow divergence inside the detonation
reaction zone can strongly influence detonation velocity and energy release. Such …

A surface evolution model is developed for the detonation propagation dynamics of the HMX-
based conventional high explosive PBX 9501, which relates the normal surface speed D n …

The propagation of detonation waves in reactive media bounded by an inert, compressible
layer is examined via computational simulations in two different geometries, axisymmetric …

Numerical simulations of detonations in cylindrical rate-sticks of highly non-ideal explosives
are performed, using a simple model with a weakly pressure-dependent rate law and a …

This work focuses on the development of models for predicting explosive power and air blast
from the detonation of organic peroxides (TATP and HMTD) and non-ideal explosives …
