The Experimental Detection of the Mach Reflection of Detonation Waves in a Solid Explosive Material

Abstract

These experiments were inspired by the work of G. M. Gangel'man (which will be described later) dealing with the solution of the problem of a skew collision of detonation waves. The obtained by him was not accurate enough because the equation of state of the detonation products was not accurate, and the solution of the problem was not confined to the narrow region of the particular collision angles, the analytical solution of which can be two-digital. The critical value of angle (proportion to varies as) or which separates the regular and Mach reflection, was determined only in the region 40-44 degrees.
