Description

Mesa2D hydrocode has been used to model the collapse of 304SS cylinder onto the 6061Al phasing lens, shock in the lines, phase detonation of the PBX 9501 explosive, and Mach disk position. The phase velocity in the system was meausred in microwave-interferometry experiments, and favorably compared with the calculations. The technique allows to accelerate a thin plate intact to above 1 cm/micro-s. (AIP) copyright American Institute of Physics
