Mathematical and numerical modelling of shock initiation in heterogeneous solid explosives

In the field of explosive science, the existence of the ‘hot-spot’ is generally accepted as essential to any theory on shock initiation. Continuum-based shock initiation models only account for ‘hot-spots’ implicitly, and the majority of these models use pressure-dependent reaction rates. The develo...
