Effect of spatial distribution of mesoscale heterogeneities on the shock-to-detonation transition in liquid nitromethane
XiaoCheng Mi, Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis +1
The sensitizing effect of cavities in the form of microbubbles on the shock initiation of a homogeneous liquid explosive is studied computationally. While the presence of voids in…
