Computer codes physical explosion models

The main objective of this monograph is to describe the important physics and chemistry of explosive and propellant performance and vulnerability that have been learned using numerical and experimental methods during the last fifty years. Another objective is to describe in detail the numerical methods that have been developed for modeling explosives and propellants and to include on a CD-ROM the executable codes for personal computers and the required data files so that the reader may apply the numerical methods to his own particular explosive or propellant system. The new VISTA operating system does not support full DOS windows or 16 bit executable codes so computer codes and animations had to be developed that operate in the new VISTA operating system. Also developed were codes that will operate in the OS X operating system for the Apple IMAC computer.
