SOME APPROXIMATE CALCULATIONS OF THE WALL PRESSURE PROFILE FOR THE CASE OF A CHAPMAN-JOUQUET DETONATION IN A FINITE MASS OF HIGH EXPLOSIVE ADJACENT TO A RIGID WALL

摘要

This paper considers the problem of the detonation of a slab of high explosive adjacent to a rigid wall vith a vacuum as the other boundary. The reflected shock is computed using Whitham's approximation. The pressure profile at the wall is computed, by various approximate methods and results are compared with those obtained from a numerical solution using a Lagrangian code.
