Abstract

New experimental techniques combined with computer molecular dynamics simulations of increasing complexity are beginning to permit a detailed examination of the initial steps in the complex chemistry describing the high-temperature, high-pressure regime associated with combustion and detonation as well as processes that may be involved in shock-induced chemistry. We present the results of several simulations that describe the generation of moderately strong shocks and their interaction with molecules embedded in weakly-bound clusters, with material defects such as microscopic voids, and with molecular species placed in the neighborhood of such defects.
