Exploding Metallic Foils and Fuses: A Computational Modeling Update
Abstract
The Los Alamos computational model of exploding metallic foil behavior has been used to analyze and design a wide range of experiments in which exploding metallic foils were driven by the output current of capacitor banks and magnetic flux compression generators. Currents in the experiments ranged from 1 kA-16 MA and foil conduction times ranged from 200 ns-300 micro(s). The successes and limitations of the computational model are surveyed.
