Abstract

The features of near-threshold mode of initiating by gas-tight piston and high- enthalpy gas flow was evaluated for a powder density explosive PETN. Both methods lead to the development of detonation in about 10 μs time. The synchrotron radiation diagnostics have shown that the initial stages of the process were significantly different, that diversity being caused by the influence of the gas flow in the pores of the charge. In this work, the effect of the gas flow on the mode of initiation was studied experimentally.
