Some Specific Features of Shock–Wave Initiation of Explosives

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

A brief review of the level of research of the problem of shock–wave initiation of explosives is given. Some specific features of the process of shock–wave initiation itself and related phenomena, namely, the effect of the loading profile, flow divergence, and the temperature of the sample, are shown and the possibility of manifesting the frontal instability upon weak initiation is indicated.
