Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Jet Formation and Particulation in Shaped Charges with Tulip-Like Steel Liners

摘要

In this study, performance of steel lined tulip shaped charges is investigated numerically and experimentally. Certain statistical method such as Design of Experiment and Neural Network method are implemented in order to decrease the time required for the investigation o various parameters affecting the output of different shaped charge liners. Numerical simulations of jet formation and penetration of stee targets are performed and they are compared with the experiments including images of shaped charge jets taken by Flash X Ray systems.
