Explosively produced fracture of oil shale. Progress report, October-December 1979
- comp.
A Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state for ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixture (ANFO) and aluminized ANFO, somewhat different from the Becker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson (BKW) equation of state described in previous reports, is discussed. Included also are our present understanding of a steady, cylindrical detonation, a proposed computer model of a real detonation, the requirements for an equivalent equation of state to be used with the model, and the values for the equation-of-state parameters. An alternative explosive burn package has been implemented in the computer code YAQUI together with a slip-line capability at the explosive/oil shale interface. The code has been used for prediction of cratering and fragmentation experiment results on a field scale.
