Numerical Simulation of Detonation Transfer between Gaseous Explosive Layers
Abstract
The development of a two dimensional computer code to simulate detonation transfer between explosive layers is described. The code is based on previous models developed to study the structure of layered detonations and the details of detonation transmission from one medium to another. The code has been configured to simulate experiments conducted at the University of Michigan on the lateral transfer of detonation and shock phenomena between different gaseous layers. Preliminary calculations with the code show that the computations produce many of the structures seen in the Michigan experiments and also provide detailed descriptions of the detonation transmission and evolving structure.
