Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The Hugoniot of an emulsion matrix based on aqueous ammonium nitrate was determined at pressures of up to 30 GPa, far exceeding the calculated detonation pressure. In the range of 13–15 GPa, the Hugoniot curve was found to have a jump singularity associated with the possible decomposition of the emulsion at high shock pressure.
