Fundamental Aspects of Unconfined Explosions. (2005)

Nicholls, J. A., Sichel, M., Fry, R. S., Hu, C., Glass, D. R.

This report covers progress made in the second year of the research program. The first part of the report is devoted to a generalized analytical prediction of the ground impulse that can be obtained...

Detonation Characteristics of Dust Dispersed in Air. (2002)

Kauffman,C. W., Nicholls,J. A., Sichel,M., Glass,D. R., Purmort,D.

This study is aimed at determining, experimentally and analytically, the detonation properties of high explosive dust when dispersed in air. The experimental facility, which is a modified form of a...

Fundamental Aspects of Unconfined Explosions. (1998)

Nicholls, J. A., Fry, R. S., Glass, D. R., Sichel, M., Vander Schaaf, J.

The theoretical aspects of cylindrical strong blast waves and Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) detonations are treated in detail. A critical radius is discussed which divides the cloud into an inner blast wave...

Jet flow field during screech (1976)

Sherman, P. M., Glass, D. R. (D. Roger), Duleep, K. G.

Measurements were made of the flow field structure and the near field parameters of a jet exhausting from a sonic nozzle with a 1.27 cm exit diameter. Compressed air was used for obtaining stagnation...

Theoretical and experimental study of cylindrical shock and heterogeneous detonation waves (1974)

Nicholls, James Arthur, Sichel, Martin, Fry, R., Glass, D. R. (D. Roger)

A simplified theory of blast initiation of detonations in clouds of fuel in gaseous or droplet form is developed and agrees with the experiments described below. The flow is at first dominated by the...
