Detonation velocity as a function of charge diameter is reported for Alliant Bullseye powder. Results are compared to those of mixtures of ammonium nitrate mixed with aluminum and ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil. In addition, measurements of free surface velocity of flyers in contact with detonating Bullseye are presented and results are compared to those of hydrocode calculations using a Jones–Wilkins–Lee equation of state generated in a thermochemical code. Comparison to the experimental results shows that both the free surface and terminal velocities were under-predicted.
