Abstract:
The fluid mechanics of the interaction between a porous material confiner and a steady propagating high explosive (HE) detonation in a two-dimensional slab geometry is investigated through analytical oblique wave polar analysis and multi-material numerical simulation. Two HE models are considered, broadly representing the properties of either a high- or low-detonation-speed HE, which permits studies of detonation propagating at speeds faster or slower than the confiner sound speed. The HE detonation is responsible for driving the compaction front in the confiner, while, in turn, the high material density generated in the confiner as a result of the compaction process can provide a strong confinement effect on the HE detonation structure. Polar solutions that describe the local flow interaction of the oblique HE detonation shock and equilibrium state behind an oblique compaction wave with rapid compaction relaxation rates are studied for varying initial solid volume fractions of the porous confiner. Multi-material numerical simulations are conducted to study the effect of detonation wave driven compaction in the porous confiner on both the detonation propagation speed and detonation driving zone structure. We perform a parametric study to establish how detonation confinement is influenced both by the initial solid volume fraction of the porous confiner and by the time scale of the dynamic compaction relaxation process relative to the detonation reaction time scale, for both the high- and low-detonation-speed HE models. The compaction relaxation time scale is found to have a significant influence on the confinement dynamics, with slower compaction relaxation time scales resulting in more strongly confined detonations and increased detonation speeds. The dynamics of detonation confinement by porous materials when the detonation is propagating either faster or slower than the confiner sound speed is found to be significantly different from that with solid material confiners.

Abstract:
The detonability of polyethylene pyrolysis products (pyrogas) in mixtures with air is determined for the first time in a standard pulsed detonation tube based on the measured values of deflagration-to-detonation transition run-up time. The pyrogas is continuously produced in a gas generator at decomposition temperatures ranging from 650 to 850 °C. Chromatographic analysis shows that at a high decomposition temperature (850 °C) pyrogas consists mainly of hydrogen, methane, ethylene, and ethane, and has a molecular mass of about 10 g/mol, whereas at a low decomposition temperature (650 °C), it mainly consists of ethylene, ethane, methane, hydrogen, propane, and higher hydrocarbons, and has a molecular mass of 24–27 g/mol. In a pulsed detonation mode, the air mixtures of pyrogas with the fuel-to-air equivalence ratio ranging from 0.6 to 1.6 at normal pressure are shown to exhibit the detonability close to that of the homogeneous air mixtures of ethylene and propylene. On the one hand, this indicates a high explosion hazard of pyrogas, which can be formed, e.g., in industrial and household fires. On the other hand, pyrogas can be considered as a promising fuel for advanced propulsion powerplants utilizing the thermodynamic Zel’dovich cycle with detonative combustion, e.g., solid-fuel detonation ramjets. In view of it, the novel conceptual design of the dual-duct detonation ramjet demonstrator intended for operation on pyrogas at the cruising flight speed of Mach 2 at sea level has been developed. The ramjet demonstrator has been manufactured and preliminarily tested in a pulsed wind tunnel at Mach 1.5 and 2 conditions. In the test fires, a short-term onset of continuous detonation of ethylene was registered at both Mach numbers.

Abstract:
The stability of travelling wave Chapman–Jouguet and moderately overdriven detonations of Zeldovich–von Neumann–Döring type is formulated for a general system that incorporates the idealized gas and condensed-phase (liquid or solid) detonation models. The general model consists of a two-component mixture with a one-step irreversible reaction between reactant and product. The reaction rate has both temperature and pressure sensitivities and has a variable reaction order. The idealized condensed-phase model assumes a pressure-sensitive reaction rate, a constant-γ caloric equation of state for an ideal fluid, with the isentropic derivative γ=3, and invokes the strong shock limit. A linear stability analysis of the steady, planar, ZND detonation wave for the general model is conducted using a normal-mode approach. An asymptotic analysis of the eigenmode structure at the end of the reaction zone is conducted, and spatial boundedness (closure) conditions formally derived, whose precise form depends on the magnitude of the detonation overdrive and reaction order. A scaling analysis of the transonic flow region for Chapman–Jouguet detonations is also studied to illustrate the validity of the linearization for Chapman–Jouguet detonations. Neutral stability boundaries are calculated for the idealized condensed-phase model for one- and two-dimensional perturbations. Comparisons of the growth rates and frequencies predicted by the normal-mode analysis for an unstable detonation are made with a numerical solution of the reactive Euler equations. The numerical calculations are conducted using a new, high-order algorithm that employs a shock-fitting strategy, an approach that has significant advantages over standard shock-capturing methods for calculating unstable detonations. For the idealized condensed-phase model, nonlinear numerical solutions are also obtained to study the long-time behaviour of one- and two-dimensional unstable Chapman–Jouguet ZND waves.

Abstract According to the numerical simulation, the sympathetic detonation of fiber composite shelled propellant was analyzed. Comparing the effects of fragments and reaction products shows that the impacting effect of fiber composite shell fragments is limited and can not lead the sympathetic detonation. The reason for sympathetic detonation in the closer distance is mainly reaction products.

Abstract:
For condensed explosives, containing metal particle additives, interaction of the detonation shock and reaction zone with solid inclusions leads to high rates of momentum and heat transfer that consequently introduce non-ideal detonation phenomena. During the time scale of the leading detonation shock crossing a particle, the acceleration and heating of metal particles are shown to depend on the volume fraction of particles, dense packing configuration, material density ratio of explosive to solid particles and ratio of particle diameter to detonation reaction-zone length. Dimensional analysis and physical parameter evaluation are used to formalize the factors affecting particle acceleration and heating. Three-dimensional mesoscale calculations are conducted for matrices of spherical metal particles immersed in a liquid explosive for various particle diameter and solid loading conditions, to determine the velocity and temperature transmission factors resulting from shock compression. Results are incorporated as interphase exchange source terms for macroscopic continuum models that can be applied to practical detonation problems involving multi-phase explosives or shock propagation in dense particle-fluid systems.

Abstract:
Detonation synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles from carbon liberated by negatively oxygen balanced explosives was evaluated in a 23 factorial design to determine the effects of three categorical experimental factors: (1) cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX)/2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) ratio, (2) silicon (Si) additive concentration, and (3) Si particle size. These factors were evaluated at low and high levels as they relate to the detonation performance of the explosive and the solid Si-containing phases produced. Detonation velocity and Chapman–Jouguet (C–J) detonation pressure, which were measured using rate stick plate dent tests, were evaluated. Solid detonation product mass, silicon carbide product concentration, and residual silicon concentration were evaluated using the x-ray diffraction analysis. The factors of Si concentration and the RDX:TNT ratio were shown to affect detonation performance in terms of detonation velocity and C–J pressure by up to 10% and 22%, respectively. Increased concentration of Si in the reactants improved the average SiC concentration in the detonation products from 1.9 to 2.8 wt. %. Similarly, increasing the ratio of RDX to TNT further oxidized detonation products and reduced the average residual Si remaining after detonation from 8.6 to 2.8 wt. %. A 70:30 mass ratio mixture of RDX to TNT loaded with 10 wt. % < 44 μm silicon powder produced an estimated 1.33 g of nanocrystalline cubic silicon carbide from a 150-g test charge. Using a lower concentration of added silicon with a finer particle size reduced SiC yield in the residue to 0.38 g yet improved the SiC to residual Si ratio to 1.64:1.

Abstract:
This thesis presents detailed description of the development of two computer codes written in FORTRAN language for the analysis of detonation of energetic mixtures. The first code, named GasPX, can compute the detonation parameters of premixed gaseous mixtures and the second one, named BARUT-X, can compute the detonation parameters of C-H-N-O based solid explosives. Both computer codes perform the computations on the basis of Chapman-Jouguet Steady State Detonation Theory and in chemical equilibrium condition. The computed detonation point by the computer codes is one of the possible solutions of the Rankine&ndash
Hugoniot curve and it also satisfies the Rayleigh line. By examining the compressibility of the gaseous products formed after detonation of premixed gaseous mixtures, it is inferred that the ideal-gas equation of state can be used to describe the detonation products. GasPX then calculates the detonation parameters complying with ideal-gas equation of state. However, the assumption of the ideal gas behavior is not valid for gaseous detonation products of solid explosives. Considering the historical improvement of the numerical studies in the literature, the BKW (Becker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson) Equation of State for gaseous products and the Cowan &
Fickett Equation of State for solid carbon (graphite) in the products are applied to the numerical model of BARUT-X. Several calculations of detonation parameters are performed by both GasPX and BARUT-X. The results are compared with those computed by the other computer codes as well as the experimental data in the literature. Comparisons show that the results are in satisfactory agreement with experiments and also in good agreement with the calculations performed by the other codes.

Abstract:
In munitions technologies, hazard investigations for explosive (or more generally energetic material) including systems is a very important issue to achieve insensitivity. Determining the response of energetic materials to different types of mechanical or thermal threats has vital importance to achieve an effective and safe munitions design and since 1970&rsquo
s, lots of studies have been performed in this research field to simulate the dynamic response of energetic materials under some circumstances. The testing for hazard investigations is a very expensive and dangerous topic in munitions design studies. Therefore, especially in conceptual design phase, the numerical simulation tools for hazard investigations has been used by ballistic researchers since 1970s. The main modeling approach in such simulation tools is the numerical simulation of deflagration-todetonation transition (DDT) phenomenon. By this motivation, in this thesis study, the numerical simulation of DDT phenomenon in solid energetic materials which occurs under some mechanical effects is performed. One dimensional and two dimensional solvers are developed by using some well-known models defined in open literature for HMX (C4 H8 N8 O8) with 73 % particle load which is a typical granular, energetic, solid, explosive ingredient. These models include the two-phase conservation equations coupled with the combustion, interphase drag interaction, interphase heat transfer interaction and compaction source terms. In the developed solvers, the governing partial differential equation (PDE) system is solved by employing high-order central differences for time and spatial integration. The two-dimensional solver is developed by extending the complete two-phase model of the one-dimensional solver without any reductions in momentum and energy conservation equations. In one dimensional calculations, compaction, ignition, deflagration and transition to detonation characteristics are investigated and, a good agreement is achieved with the open literature. In two dimensional calculations, effect of blunt and sharp-nosed projectile impact situations on compaction and ignition characteristics of a typical explosive bed is investigated. A minimum impact velocity under which ignition in the domain fails is sought. Then the developed solver is tested with a special wave-shaper problem and the results are in a good agreement with those of a commercial software.

Abstract:
The major goal of this PhD project is to investigate the fundamental properties of energetic materials, including their atomic and electronic structures, as well as mechanical properties, and relate these to the fundamental mechanisms of shock wave and detonation propagation using state-of-the-art simulation methods. The first part of this PhD project was aimed at the investigation of static properties of energetic materials (EMs) with specific focus on 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB). The major goal was to calculate the isotropic and anisotropic equations of state for TATB within a range of compressions not accessible to experiment, and to make predictions of anisotropic sensitivity along various crystallographic directions. The second part of this PhD project was devoted to applications of a novel atomic-scale simulation method, referred to as the moving window molecular dynamics (MW-MD) technique, to study the fundamental mechanisms of condensed-phase detonation. Because shock wave is a leading part of the detonation wave, MW-MD was applied to demonstrate its effectiveness in resolving fast non-equilibrium processes taking place behind the shock-wave front during shock-induced solid-liquid phase transitions in crystalline aluminum. Next, MW-MD was used to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of detonation propagation in condensed energetic materials. Due to the chemical complexity of real EMs, a simplified AB model of a prototypical energetic material was used. The AB interatomic potential, which describes chemical bonds, as well as chemical reactions between atoms A and B in an AB solid, was modified to investigate the mechanism of the detonation wave propagation with different reactive activation barriers. The speed of the shock or detonation wave, which is an input parameter of MW-MD, was determined by locating the Chapman-Jouguet point along the reactive Hugoniot, which was simulated using the constant number of particles, volume, and temperature (NVT) ensemble in MD. Finally, the detonation wave structure was investigated as a function of activation barrier for the chemical reaction AB+B ⇒ A+BB. Different regimes of detonation propagation including 1-D laminar, 2-D cellular, and 3-D spinning and turbulent detonation regimes were identified.

The solid blast walls were settled in proper locations of most of the ammunition storage facilities or major command centers to protect the buildings from bomb attack. The main function of blast walls is to sustain the impact from high temperature and pressure explosive waves, fragments and flames from inside or outside of buildings. The military affair understands that undergrounding of important facility or command station is the trend. Especially the accuracy of upgrading weapons on target is enhanced with advanced technologies. To ensure the buildings away from the damage from the bomb threat at close range, a systemically design on the geometry of blast wall is necessary due to there is a limited distance and size considerations. Present thesis aims to change the wall configuration, height and thickness of the blast walls and tests their performance on reduction in detonation pressure over walls. The computational fluid dynamics approach based on the control volume method is employed in present work. The detailed flow field is obtained by solving the transient, two-dimensional and compressible Navier-Stokes equation with laminar flow assumption. The ANSYS Gambit 2.4.6 software is used to generate the solid models and the grid systems in computational domain. The high temperature and pressure gradient generated by the explosive of TNT bomb, propagation process of blast wave, and interaction of blast wave with blast walls are simulated with the commercial software of Fluent 12.0.7. The post-processing process was achieved with the Tecplot 360 software. A validation run with published data (TM5-1300) was finished and results showed that a reasonable agreement can be achieved with present numerical code. Among tested parameters, the effect of blast wall’s height on the reduction of denotation pressure is most significant. A increasing of blast wall with 1 mm caused the drop in overpressure ratio of 40% can be observed.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Mecânica apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia
O objetivo deste trabalho é o estudo de juntas soldadas por explosão entre aço carbono e alumínio e analisar a influência dos parâmetros na morfologia da ligação.Foram realizados seis ensaios experimentais utilizando diferentes misturas explosivas: emulsão explosiva com sensibilizantes e ANFO. Os ensaios que utilizaram emulsão explosiva não resultaram em soldaduras consistentes e foram caracterizados nas interfaces para identificar o motivo do insucesso nas soldaduras. Posteriormente, foi alcançado o sucesso na soldadura quando se utilizou ANFO, com velocidades de detonação inferiores à emulsão explosiva. Foi igualmente feita a caracterização ao nível macro e microestrutural bem como mecânico. Num último ensaio foram mantidas as mesmas condições do ensaio bem sucedido, fazendo apenas diminuir o rácio de explosivo, resultando numa soldadura muito inconsistente. Após a caracterização das soldaduras, foi possível concluir que com o aumento da velocidade de detonação, a espessura de intermetálicos é superior, bem como as durezas próximas da interface são mais elevadas. Além disso, com o aumento da velocidade de detonação do explosivo, a percentagem em peso de alumínio decresce.A janela de soldabilidade mostrou-se ser uma ferramenta útil para a seleção dos parâmetros da soldadura, uma vez que todos os ensaios com sucesso se encontram dentro da janela. Ainda foi possível verificar que a utilização de explosivos com velocidades de detonação inferiores são mais adequados para a realização das soldaduras destes dois materiais.
The main goal of this work is the study of explosive welded joints between carbon steel and aluminum and the study of their parameters in the joint morphology.Six experiments were preformed, using ammonium nitrate-based emulsion explosive with the help of sensitizers and also Ammonium Nitrate/ Fuel Oil. The tests conducted with ammonium nitrate-based emulsion were unsuccessful, and were characterized in order to identify the main reasons for the welding failure. With the use of Ammonium Nitrate/ Fuel Oil and consequently lower detonation velocities than emulsion explosive. It was performed a metallographic analysis (macroscopic analysis, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy) and mechanical characterization of the joints. In the last experiment with Ammonium Nitrate/ Fuel Oil, it was tried to reduce the explosive ratio, but it resulted in a inconsistent welding.After characterizing the welding samples, it was possible to conclude that for a higher detonation velocity the intermetallic layer is bigger and the hardness is higher near the interface. On the other hand, for an higher detonation velocity, the presence of aluminum in the intermetallics is lower.The weldability window showed to be an useful tool for the selection of the welding parameters, once all the experiments that were successful were inside the weldability window. It was concluded that the welding of these two metals can be made preferentially with lower detonation velocities, such as Ammonium Nitrate/ Fuel Oil.

Abstract:
Most scientists now agree that some sixty-five million years ago, an immense comet slammed into the Yucatan, detonating a blast twenty million times more powerful than the largest hydrogen bomb, punching a hole ten miles deep in the earth. Trillions of tons of rock were vaporized and launched into the atmosphere. For a thousand miles in all directions, vegetation burst into flames. There were tremendous blast waves, searing winds, showers of molten matter from the sky, earthquakes, and a terrible darkness that cut out sunlight for a year, enveloping the planet in freezing cold. Thousands of species of plants and animals were obliterated, including the dinosaurs, some of which may have become extinct in a matter of hours. In Impact, Gerrit L. Verschuur offers an eye-opening look at such catastrophic collisions with our planet. Perhaps more important, he paints an unsettling portrait of the possibility of new collisions with earth, exploring potential threats to our planet and describing what scientists are doing right now to prepare for this awful possibility. Every day something from space hits our planet, Verschuur reveals. In fact, about 10,000 tons of space debris fall to earth every year, mostly in meteoric form. The author recounts spectacular recent sightings, such as over Allende, Mexico, in 1969, when a fireball showered the region with four tons of fragments, and the twenty-six pound meteor that went through the trunk of a red Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, New York, in 1992 (the meteor was subsequently sold for $69,000 and the car itself fetched $10,000). But meteors are not the greatest threat to life on earth, the author points out. The major threats are asteroids and comets. The reader discovers that astronomers have located some 350 NEAs ("Near Earth Asteroids"), objects whose orbits cross the orbit of the earth, the largest of which are 1627 Ivar (6 kilometers wide) and 1580 Betula (8 kilometers). Indeed, we learn that in 1989, a bus-sized asteroid called Asclepius missed our planet by 650,000 kilometers (a mere six hours), and that in 1994 a sixty-foot object passed within 180,000 kilometers, half the distance to the moon. Comets, of course, are even more deadly. Verschuur provides a gripping description of the small comet that exploded in the atmosphere above the Tunguska River valley in Siberia, in 1908, in a blinding flash visible for several thousand miles (every tree within sixty miles of ground zero was flattened). He discusses Comet Swift-Tuttle--"the most dangerous object in the solar system"--a comet far larger than the one that killed off the dinosaurs, due to pass through earth's orbit in the year 2126. And he recounts the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in 1994, as some twenty cometary fragments struck the giant planet over the course of several days, casting titanic plumes out into space (when Fragment G hit, it outshone the planet on the infrared band, and left a dark area at the impact site larger than the Great Red Spot). In addition, the author describes the efforts of Spacewatch and other groups to locate NEAs, and evaluates the idea that comet and asteroid impacts have been an underrated factor in the evolution of life on earth. Astronomer Herbert Howe observed in 1897: "While there are not definite data to reason from, it is believed that an encounter with the nucleus of one of the largest comets is not to be desired." As Verschuur shows in Impact, we now have substantial data with which to support Howe's tongue-in-cheek remark. Whether discussing monumental tsunamis or the innumerable comets in the Solar System, this book will enthrall anyone curious about outer space, remarkable natural phenomenon, or the future of the planet earth.

Abstract:
Gaseous acetylene (C2H2), which is used in industry in large quantities, is well known for being prone to detonative decomposition. Existing guidelines provide advice for a safe handling but are still deficient with regard to quantifying the static equivalent pressures experienced by the wall of a pipe when exposed to an internal detonative decomposition reaction. By applying the pipe wall deformation method we determined the static equivalent pressures occurring in long pipes. Once the static equivalent pressure is known, the well-established pressure vessel design guidelines, which can cope with static loads, can be applied for detonation pressure proof pipe design in all cases where the detonation speed is not close to the propagation speed of the flexural waves in the pipe. The tests revealed further important new details characterizing the detonative decomposition of C2H2: 1) The static equivalent pressure at the location of the occurrence of the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) turned out to decrease relatively with increasing initial pressure. 2) When exceeding an initial pressure of approximately 12 bar abs there was no longer a stage of instable detonation after the occurrence of the deflagration to detonation transition, but the reaction front immediately propagated as a stable detonation. 3) It was found that the Chapman-Jouguet theory, which provides reasonably precise predictions for the propagation speed of the stable detonation and the Chapman-Jouguet pressure ratio in the case of common stoichiometric combustible/oxidant mixtures, seems to fail in the case of the decomposition of C2H2. A possible reason for this could be the fact that the decomposition reaction, in contrast to all other combustion reactions, generates both gaseous and solid reaction products. 4) By combining the results of recent work on detonations in ethylene/O2/N2-mixtures published in PVP2013-97677 and the present tests, a good estimate for the Chapman-Jouguet pressure ratio of the detonative decomposition reaction of C2H2 could be derived.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the shape of splats deposited by detonation spraying and correlate splat morphology with the velocity and temperature of particles as they hit the substrate. The obtained results are in good agreement with numerical calculations for nickel splats and show that the thermo-physical properties of composite particles can be estimated from their splat characteristics as well. An understanding of these relationships for various materials is necessary to calculate particle heating in the detonation barrel.

Abstract:
The pulsed detonation gun technology for gasi¦cation of organic waste with ultrasuperheated steam [1, 2] has been demonstrated experimentally for the ¦rst time. The organic waste converter consisted of a pulsed detonation gun and water-cooled spherical §ow reactor (Fig. 1). Experiments on methane conversion as well as on the gasification of liquid (waste machine oil) and solid (sawdust) waste by the high-temperature gaseous detonation products of methane oxygen mixture were performed. The pulsed detonation gun was operated at a relatively low frequency of f = 1 Hz which provided a timeaveraged mean temperature of detonation products in a spherical §ow reactor at a level of 1200 K at a time-averaged absolute pressure in the reactor slightly higher than P = 1 atm. The novel technology was shown to provide complete (100%) conversion of methane into syngas containing H2 and CO with a ratio of H2/CO ≈ 1.25 2. Gasi¦cation of liquid and solid wastes led to the production of syngas containing reactive components H2, CO, and CH4 in the total amounts of 80 and 65 %(vol.) dry basis (d. b.), respectively. The corresponding H2/CO ratios in the product syngas were 0.8 and 0.5. Overall, experiments on methane conversion as well as liquid and solid waste gasi¦cation showed that under the same conditions at f = 1 Hz and P = 1 atm, the composition of syngas in terms of H2 and CO almost did not depend on the type of feedstock (Fig. 2).
