Title: Detonation of high explosives in Lagrangian hydrodynamic codes using the programmed burn technique

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4148515· OSTI ID:4148515

Two initiation methods were developed for improving the programmed burn technique for detonation of high explosives in smeared-shock Lagrangian hydrodynamic codes. The methods are verified by comparing the improved programmed burn with existing solutions in one-dimensional plane, converging, and diverging geometries. Deficiencies in the standard programmed burn are described. One of the initiation methods has been determined to be better for inclusion in production hydrodynamic codes. (auth)
