Abstract

The effect of fine (5 ΞΌm) and coarse (95 ΞΌm) aluminum on the deflagration‐to‐detonation transition (DDT) behavior of HMX, in charges pressed to 90% theoretical maximum density (TMD), was studied. It was found that Al slows down the DDT process increasingly as the content of Al increases; that is, it increases predetonation column length and the relative times to detonation. Fine Al is more effective than coarse in delaying DDT, at a given content, but both are inferior to wax in this respect.

This paper presents the results of a computational investigation of the process of deflagration to detonation transition in a combustible gas mixture. The type of combustion (i.e., deflagration or detonation) supported by a two-step reaction scheme is studied as a function of the activation energies
