Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants, Second Edition

Charles Mader, a leading scientist who conducted theoretical research at Los Alamos National Laboratory for more than 30 years, sets a new standard with this reference on numerical modeling of explosives and propellants. This book updates and expands the information presented in the author's landmark work, Numerical Modeling of Detonations, published in 1979 and still in use today. Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants incorporates the considerable changes the personal computer has brought to numerical modeling since the first book was published, and includes new three-dimensional modeling techniques and new information on propellant performance and vulnerability. Both an introduction to the physics and chemistry of explosives and propellants and a guide to numerical modeling of detonation and reactive fluid dynamics, Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants offers scientists and engineers a complete picture of the current state of explosive and propellant technology and numerical modeling. The book is richly illustrated with figures that support the concepts, and filled with tables for quick access to precise data. The accompanying CD-ROM contains computer codes that are the national standard by which modeling is evaluated. Dynamic material properties data files and animation files are also included. There is no other book available today that offers this vital information.

Numerical Modeling of Detonations (Los Alamos Series in Basic and Applied Science)

(The objective of this monograph is to describe the result...)

The objective of this monograph is to describe the results of numerical modeling of the detonation process for condensed explosives performed at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory over the last two decades. Models for describing the performance and initiation of explosives are under continuing investigation at laboratories in various countries. This monograph will be useful as a review of previous work and will indicate areas where additional studies may permit increased understanding of detonation physics and chemistry. Another objective is to describe the methods used to model numerically, in one and two dimensions, the reactive dynamics of condensed explosives and their interaction with other materials. This monograph is used as the text for a series of seven training lectures available on color video tape (VT-78-2) from LASL library.

Major advances, both in modeling methods and in the computing power required to make those methods viable, have led to major breakthroughs in our ability to model the performance and vulnerability of explosives and propellants. In addition, the development of proton radiography during the last decade has provided researchers with a major new experimental tool for studying explosive and shock wave physics. Problems that were once considered intractable – such as the generation of water cavities, jets, and stems by explosives and projectiles – have now been solved. Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants, Third Edition provides a complete overview of this rapidly emerging field, covering basic reactive fluid dynamics as well as the latest and most complex methods and findings. It also describes and evaluates Russian contributions to the experimental explosive physics database, which only recently have become available. This book comes packaged with a CD-ROM that contains― ·         FORTRAN and executable computer codes that operate under Microsoft® Windows Vista operating system and the OS X operating system for Apple computers ·         Windows Vista and MAC compatible movies and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter ·         Explosive and shock wave databases generated at the Los Alamos  National Laboratory and the Russian Federal Nuclear Centers Charles Mader’s three-pronged approach – through text, computer programs, and animations – imparts a thorough understanding of new computational methods and experimental measuring techniques, while also providing the tools to put these methods to effective use.
