Dynamics of detonations and explosions: Explosion phenomena; International Colloquium on Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems, 12th, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, July 23-28, 1989, Technical Papers
The present colloquium on the dynamics of explosions and reactive systems discusses vapor cloud explosions, blast wave reflections and interactions, and vapor explosions. Attention is given to scaling of vapor cloud explosions after turbulent jet release, the effect of asymmetric ignition on the vapor cloud spatial blast, the mechanism of flame acceleration along a tube with obstacles, and an explosion in a vented vessel connected to a duct. Also discussed are shock waves produced by reflected detonations, a turbulent wall jet in a Mach reflection flow, and the formation of zones with high particle concentrations in dusty gas. Topics discussed include shock waves from a vapor explosion in a shock tube, the dynamics of explosive interactions between molten tin and water in stratified geometry, and steam explosion studies with molten iron-alumina generated by thermite reactions.
