10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Rio Mar 2
Progress in understanding detonation wave propagation in high explosives involves theory, computation, and experiment. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss all three in the context of modeling unsteady propagation by means of level-set techniques. These techniques provide a description of the detonation front without having to model the details of the chemistry in the combustion process thus limiting the complexity and computational effort involved in obtaining an accurate simulation. The speakers will describe the history, development, implementation, and validation of the "detonation shock dynamics" (DSD) model.
