Summary

In this paper we present results from numerical simulations of high explosives, using a constant volume method and an axis-symmetric Regularized Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. smoothed particle hydrodynamics method Empirical and numerical results show satisfactory agreement for 1 kg of detonating TNT charge. The method is further challenged with the study of shock propagation and shock reflection in complex geometries. The shock reflection pattern is altered by introducing barriers of different shapes. The effect of such barrier structures are studied.
