A Review of One Dimensional Shaped Charge Theory. Part 1. Jet Formation

Abstract

This Australian report presents a comprehensive introduction to the basic physics of the collapse of a shaped charge linear and the formation of the associated jet and slug. The hydrodynamic theory of the effect is treated in detail, and recent refinements of the theory are described. These include the calculation of a nonsteady Taylor angle formula, consideration of the inverse velocity gradient within the jet, and the effect of the compressibility of the liner material on jet formation.
