Numerical Simulation of Cook-Off for Passive RDX

Article Preview

Abstract:

For passive RDX, fluent software was applied to simulate the cook-off for explosive of different charge density at heating rates of 1, 5, 10k/min to improve thermal safety in the ammunition storage, transport and battle. The results show that the heating rate has great effect on ignition time and position for passive RDX. Charge density also has great influence on ignition time but no influence on ignition position. The ignition time decreases and ignition position moves from the center to the two ends of the cylinder edge with the increase of the heating rate. The ignition time increases with the increase of charge density under the same condition. Therefore, increasing the charge density can effectively improve the thermal safety of ammunition.
