Velocity by Direct Visualization of the Explosive Flow

Detonation Velocity by Direct Visualization of the Explosive Flow. 

Fauquignon et al stated in Introduction (Ref 12, p39), that most of the experimental methods concern velocity measurements in an inert medium close to the explosive, eg a) Free-surface velocity imparted to metallic plates of increasing thicknesses (Refs 2, 5, 6, 10, 

81 11) b) Water or Plexiglas induced shock wave velocity (Refs 8 8t 9) (See Detonation, Water or Plexiglas Induced Shock Wave Velocity Method) c) Method based on the metallic transition of sulfur (Ref 7 (See Detonation Velocity by Metallic Transition of Sulfur Method 

One of the interesting features of these methods is that they give an enlarged picture of the reaction zone however distortions, particularly those due to expl reflected waves may be expect ed 

The method described by Fauquignon et al uses a direct visualization of the explosive flow, similar to that
