This proposed effort is to evaluate the feasibility of developing a computer code to model the mechanical and chemical processes descriptive of multi-component fuel/oxidizer explosive systems. The resulting computer code could be used to conduct parametric investigation of binary and enhanced blast explosive systems. This type of tool is necessary to permit optimization of these blast systems for military applications.

The proposed effort is to implement a computational model for describing the reactive-flow of explosives after ignition to high-order detonation. This effort will include the precise formation of the model, incorporation into the hull code, and the development of experimental techniques to define model parameters. It is anticipated that as many as three explosives will be completely characterized to demonstrate the capabilities developed under this project.
