Abstract

The possibility of increasing the velocity of solid particles accelerated by an explosion of a long tubular charge of a high explosive (HE) in vacuum is analyzed. The experimental results obtained indicate that the acceleration velocity cannot be considerably increased. The probable causes are erosion of the material from the inner surface of the HE tube and a significant decrease in the mass flow velocity when the length of the HE tube exceeds the optimum length.
