Predicting explosive performance at length scales near the minimum needed for a detonation to propagate is often a challenge—surrounding materials, non-ideal interfaces, sample geometry, and local microstructure variations can all significantly impact explosive output. For accurate predictions of performance, reactive burn models are needed that can capture the details around the growth or failure of reactions leading to detonation, which requires detailed experimental information for model parameterization.
Researchers on this LDRD team developed a high throughput experimental setup utilizing laser-driven flyers with photon Doppler velocimetry diagnostics and an array of vapor-deposited explosive films to characterize both initiation thresholds and the growth of reactions leading to detonation. This data was used to parameterize new burn models, which are enabling predictions of explosive performance at small scales, including the effects of non-ideal interfaces.
This work led to two publications in the Journal of Applied Physics (1) (2) in 2022 using high-throughput initiation experiments to calibrate predictive simulations.
