On the viscoplastic squeeze flow between two identical infinite circular cylinders
Arndt Ryo Koblitz, Sean Lovett, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
Direct numerical simulations of closely interacting infinite circular cylinders in a Bingham fluid are presented, and results compared to asymptotic solutions based on lubrication…
Detonation propagation in annular arcs of condensed phase explosives
Eleftherios Ioannou, Stefan Schoch, Nikolaos Nikiforakis +1
We present a numerical study of detonation propagation in unconfined explosive charges shaped as an annular arc (rib). Steady detonation in a straight charge propagates at constant…
The evolution of the temperature field during cavity collapse in liquid nitromethane. Part II: Reactive case
Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
We study effect of cavity collapse in non-ideal explosives as a means of controlling their sensitivity. The main aim is to understand the origin of localised temperature peaks (hot…
The evolution of the temperature field during cavity collapse in liquid nitromethane. Part I: Inert case
Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
We study the effect of cavity collapse in non-ideal explosives as a means of controlling their sensitivity. The aim is to understand the origin of localised temperature peaks (hot…
A multi-physics methodology for the simulation of the two-way interaction of reactive flow and elastoplastic structural response
Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
We propose a numerical methodology for the numerical simulation of distinct, interacting physical processes described by a combination of compressible, inert and reactive forms of…
A complete equation of state for non-ideal condensed phase explosives
Simon David Wilkinson, Martin Braithwaite, Nikolaos Nikiforakis +1
The objective of this work is to improve the robustness and accuracy of numerical simulations of both ideal and non-ideal explosives by introducing temperature dependence in mechan…
