Abstract

Results of the numerical solution of the problem of one-dimensional hurling of shells by hollow explosive charges are elucidated. The results of the numerical solution are compared with asymptotic formulas. Numerous domestic and foreign papers have been devoted to the question of hurling shells by explosive charges. A numerical solution of the problem of convergence of a ring to the center under the effect of detonation products is presented in [1–3]. The problem of hurling a shell by a hollow explosive charge with an internal lining is considered in [4]; the solution of the problem of hurling a shell by a hollow explosive charge without the cavity lining is presented in [5] on the basis of the energy-balance equations; however, the complete picture of the processes occurring in the detonation products is not considered.
