Numerical Simulation in the Effect of Ignition Mode and Position on Fragment Velocity of Azimuthal Warhead

Abstract:

To study the effect of ignition mode and position on fragment velocity of azimuthal warhead, a simulation model was established and computed. Simulation analysis results of azimuthal warhead showed that two ignition points mode was more valuable than the three ignition points mode, the fragment velocity curve had increasing trend in 0°~180° radial direction, ignition positions near to the edge of main charge end had the highest performance-cost ratio in the practical application.
