FUSE: A Simple Simulation Model for a Flyer-Plate Detonator System

摘要

FUSE is a specialized single-zone MHD computer code developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It is used to simulate flyer-plate detonators and their associated firing systems. The model was validated for the bridgewire preburst region and for postburst times prior to initiating the high explosive. Good experimental agreement was achieved. FUSE has aided engineers to design, optimize, and validate firing systems as well as to test new concepts associated with the system.
