Abstract
AbstractTo explore particulate movement near the plasma of chemical explosions, rugged tracer particles were placed within and on the exterior of metal charges and electrically detonated. The particles were collected on/in the porous walls of plastic cylinders at diameters that correlated to the plasma width during different phases of the explosion. The particles’ positions were determined by Boolean logic analysis of their luminescent intensity. The cylinders which caught particles from the initial phases of the explosion retained placement information, while wider cylinders showed uniform mixing. These results/analysis methodology can help improve the understanding of particulate mixing in harsh environments.
