A new reactive flow model for highly non-ideal explosives and propellants is presented. These compositions, which contain large amounts of metal, upon explosion have reaction kinetics that are characteristic of both fast detonation and slow metal combustion chemistry. A reaction model for these systems was incorporated into the two-dimensional, finite element, Lagrangian hydrodynamic code, DYNA2D. A description of how to determine the model parameters is given. The use of the model and variations are applied to AP, Al, and nitramine underwater explosive and propellant systems.
