Two dimensional homogeneous and heterogeneous detonation wave propagation

OSTI ID:7184952
The process of detonation initiation and propagation of homogeneous explosives along surfaces may be qualitatively described using Arrhenius kinetics. Because the reaction zone scale is orders of magnitude smaller than the scale of the experiments of interest, quantitative calculations are difficult to achieve. The ability of thin metal cylinders to prevent detonation failure in nitromethane and the observed failure and reignition of nitromethane by changes in confinement geometry may be qualitatively reproduced by numerical reactive fluid dynamics with Arrhenius kinetics.
