Methodology for Determining Impulse and Quasi-Static Pressure Loading for Design of 6-ft Inner Diameter Confinement Vessel
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
A brief study of the TNT-equivalence of PBX-9501 is presented herein utilizing a new basis via application of one-dimensional spherical (1DS) hydrocode models in a 6-ft ID confinement vessel geometry with no internal furniture. Specifically, TNT-equivalence herein is based upon two separate features: (1) matching the peak reflected specific impulse of PBX-9501 to TNT under detonation process, and (2) matching quasi-static peak gas pressure of PBX-9501 to TNT at steady-state.
