Abstract

This paper presents some of our results in using of the Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for the numerical modelling of the detonation phenomena. The study of the detonation is very important for evaluation of different explosives and even for their design. The paper also presents, in a synthetically way, some fundamentals of the detonation. The numerical modelling of the detonation can be made by Finite Element Method (FEM), but using of the SPH method brings some important advantages because the large deformations, large distortions occur. If the FEM can be used in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation, the SPH method can easily works and next to it, some specific parameters (density variation, specific energy etc.) can be obtained and analyzed by post-processing. The numerical results (by FEM and by SPH method) are compared with theoretical results. The numerical study allowed us to analyse the influence of some explosive characteristics and of the circumstances (non confined and confined explosive) upon detonation parameters.
