Fundamental Particle Combustion Kinetics Measurement in the Shock Tube in Support of Enhanced Blast Weapons Development

Abstract

This research conducted from FY 2006 through FY 2009 addressed to main objectives: 1) determination of the combustion kinetics of fine aluminum particles under conditions relevant to enhanced blast devices, and 2) examination of the effects of the passage of the detonation wave on the reactivity of aluminum particles in aluminized explosives. These to research thrust were conducted in parallel.
