Burning and detonation
The effect of a confined porous bed of burning explosive abutting solid explosive is studied by computer simulation. Burning only is allowed in the porous bed; shock-induced decomposition is modeled by FOREST FIRE in the solid material. The occurrence of detonation in the solid explosive depends on the surface-to-volume ratio, the confinement of the porous bed, and the geometry of the system. The density effect on the initial-shock-pressure, distance-to-detonation (wedge test) measure of shock sensitivity is calculated. The calculation uses the invariance with density of the shock particle velocity as a function of time to detonation.
