A study of the curvature of a two‐dimensional detonation wave at an explosive‐confinement interface
- P. Vidal, M. Cowperthwaite, Henri‐Noël Presles, E. Bouton
- Physics
- 12 May 2008
We present a theoretical study of the interaction of a constant‐velocity two‐dimensional detonation wave with its surrounding medium. For the case of pure refraction, we obtained exact expressions… Expand

we see how very human he is. Elijah, the great champion of God, flees into the desert, a broken and dispirited man. But like the Israelites of old, he is fed with ‘bread from heaven’. Strengthened by… Expand
Oblique shock wave calculations for detonation waves in brass confined and bare PBXN-111 cylindrical charges
- E. Lemar, J. Forbes, M. Cowperthwaite
- Materials Science
- 27 March 2008
Shock polar theory is used to calculate the angles detonation fronts make with the cylinder wall for brass cased and bare PBXN-111 cylinders. Two extrapolated unreacted PBXN-111 Hugoniot curves are… Expand
A new approach to the Wood and Kirkwood axial detonation problem
- Michael Cowperthwaite
- Physics
- 12 May 2008
A new approach to Wood and Kirkwood’s classical, two‐dimensional, axial detonation problem, based on different methods for constructing first integrals of the flow equations, provides an exact… Expand
