Numerical Simulation of Shock Wave Around-Flow in Explosion Test

Abstract:

Numerical simulations for tests of thin metal plate against explosion were performed by using models with and without taking into account shock wave around-flow. The results show that the center deflections of plates from numerical simulations are in good agreement with those from experiments, and that the shock wave around-flow can reach the back surface of plate during the shock wave acting on the front surface of plate and interact with the plate response. It is found that the shock wave around-flow has significant effect on the plate response when the scale distance and the size of the plate are small.
