Basic Detonation Physics Algorithms

Abstract

This report presents the theory behind a series of detonation physics algorithms used to simulate the detonation of a condensed explosive. The numerical scheme implemented in this case is the Roe flux difference splitting scheme due to Glaister. This report contains a detailed discussion of the mathematical derivation along with a printing of the source code. We also include a discussion of methods for implementing Lagrangian tracking algorithms for solid inclusions within the condensed explosive.
