EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SHOCK WAVE PROPAGATION IN TNT CONTAINING WATER

摘要

Shock wave propagation in coarse TNT containing water was studied by two-dimensional Lagrange analysis. Approximately constant shock front pressure and velocity was founded in experiments. Compared with the shock wave behavior in coated coarse TNT and fine TNT, the results suggest that, shock pressure profile in explosive could be modified with additive water by effecting chemical reaction rate.
