Auto Practicum on the Ignition and Growth Model

Abstract

This paper documents a series of mathematical manipulations of the equations of state for the Ignition and Growth Reactive Flow Model leading to the derivation of the detonation properties for explosives LX-17 and Nitromethane. Following the writings of Kapila et al., these meanderings serve as a body of scratch work leading, in part, to lay the groundwork for the development of a new detonation physics computer code. Further to this end, the Harten-Lax-van Leer shock-capturing scheme is applied to solve the shock tube problem for the detonation products by using the Jones-Wilkins-Lee equation of state as an integral part of the reactive flow model.
