SUMMARY:Simple condensed phase explosive detonation modelling - Martin Bra
 ithwaite\, Laboratory for Scientific Computing\, Cavendish Laboratory
DTSTART:20181018T150000Z

UID:TALK106705@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Commercial explosives\, heterogeneous in nature\, used in mini
 ng and quarrying applications tend to detonate non-ideally and their perfo
 rmance characteristics are not solely determined by thermodynamic analysis
 . Manufacturing companies are required to give some energy output estimate
  for their products and some occasionally undertake a non-ideal detonation
  analysis based on simplified theory in order to optimize the blasting pro
 cess. This talk will discuss ideal and non-ideal detonation performance pr
 ediction currently in use in industry and will conclude with a brief revie
 w of a more sophisticated and reliable approach being undertaken within th
 e Laboratory for Scientific Computing in Cambridge.
