A TNT burn model

ORAL

Abstract

This work describes the calibration of the Arrhenius Wescott-Stewart-Davis (AWSD) reactive flow model for TNT. We discuss the data used to make the calibration and look at several different choices we made in the modeling. We review the resulting reactant and product equation of state. For the rate law calibration, we use shock to detonation transition and diameter effect experiments.
