Description
Summary:Hydrodynamic calculations in conjunction with experiments provide an effective method for obtaining otherwise inaccessible information on high explosives. The credibility of the calculational program (code) is established by comparison with the steady state solutions for certain detonation problems obtained by the method of characteristics. The machine calculation is then applied to specific problems in one and two dimensions to explain some of the difficulties an experimenter would encounter in attempting to measure the pressure at a detonation front.
