Abstract
The initial few instances of hypervelocity impact events are marked by high velocity jets of projectile and target material. Effects of impact velocity, impact angle and material properties of the projectile and target on the jet onset time and the jet velocity are not clear. We, therefore, developed a mathematical model that can successfully and rapidly calculate the jet onset time and velocity for various impact scenarios. Our results show that (i) jet initiates earlier if impact velocity is higher or if impact is oblique; (ii) most likely, the jet velocity is higher if the projectile has a high s-parameter, and both projectile and target have high densities.
