Hypersonic Jets of Detonation Products in the Hydrodynamic Collapse of Macroscopic Voids

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Using machined mm‐scale voids at the surface of PBX 9501 samples, detonation‐driven jets of product gases form. We find that there is an optimal distance from the charge surface at which the energy transfer due to this jetting is maximized using witness plate impact experiments and hydrocode simulations.
