Three-dimensional Eulerian calculations of triple-initiated PBX 9404. [3DE]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5073873

The three-dimensional, reactive, Eulerian hydrodynamic code, 3DE, is described and used to model numerically the interaction of three spherically diverging detonation waves. The shock initiation burn model called Forest Fire was used to model the explosive decomposition. The formation of regular and Mach shock reflections, which result from the interaction of three detonation waves, is described. 13 figures.
