Sympathetic detonation. [VRO]

OSTI ID:5710027
The results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of sympathetic detonation of VRO propellant are summarized. The extent of sympathetic reaction has been determined experimentally for different sizes and shapes of propellant. The experiments have been modeled numerically using the LASL reactive hydrodynamic code 2DE with Forest Fire burn rates. The critical separation distance for high-order detonation has been calculated for the cylindrical equivalents of 1-, 2-, and 3-inch cubes, and is in excellent agreement with experiment. The calculated behavior of the total system is shown with a computer-generated movie, and details of the pressures in the air gap and in the acceptor are presented.
