Problems associated with launching hypervelocity projectiles from the fast shock tube

Abstract: Modeling and experiments are being done with the goal of understanding the physics of projectile acceleration at high driving pressures (megabar range) and short acceleration times (a few microseconds) well enough to design and test successful hypervelocity launch systems, The Fast Shock Tube, a cylindrically convergent high-explosive driver, has been used to accelerate projectiles.Detailed modeling of the experiments, including high-pressure gas flow, projectile instability, and projectile fracture, has been … Show more
