This book presents a history of shock compression science, including development of experimental, material modeling, and hydrodynamics code technologies over the past six decades at Sandia National Laboratories. The book is organized into a discussion of major accomplishments by decade with over 900 references, followed by a unique collection of 45 personal recollections detailing the trials, tribulations, and successes of building a world-class organization in the field. It explains some of the challenges researchers faced and the gratification they experienced when a discovery was made. Several visionary researchers made pioneering advances that integrated these three technologies into a cohesive capability to solve complex scientific and engineering problems. What approaches worked, which ones did not, and the applications of the research are described. Notable applications include the turret explosion aboard the USS Iowa and the Shoemaker-Levy comet impact on Jupiter. The personal anecdotes and recollections make for a fascinating account of building a world-renowned capability from meager beginnings. This book will be inspiring to the expert, the non expert, and the early-career scientist. Undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering who are contemplating different fields of study should find it especially compelling.

Major advances, both in modeling methods and in the computing power required to make those methods viable, have led to major breakthroughs in our ability to model the performance and vulnerability of explosives and propellants. In addition, the development of proton radiography during the last decade has provided researchers with a major new experimental tool for studying explosive and shock wave physics. Problems that were once considered intractable – such as the generation of water cavities, jets, and stems by explosives and projectiles – have now been solved. Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants, Third Edition provides a complete overview of this rapidly emerging field, covering basic reactive fluid dynamics as well as the latest and most complex methods and findings. It also describes and evaluates Russian contributions to the experimental explosive physics database, which only recently have become available. This book comes with downloadable resources that contain— · FORTRAN and executable computer codes that operate under Microsoft® Windows Vista operating system and the OS X operating system for Apple computers · Windows Vista and MAC compatible movies and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter · Explosive and shock wave databases generated at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Russian Federal Nuclear Centers Charles Mader’s three-pronged approach – through text, computer programs, and animations – imparts a thorough understanding of new computational methods and experimental measuring techniques, while also providing the tools to put these methods to effective use.

We exercised the History Variable Reactive Burn (HVRB) model in the CTH code, simulating a number of common explosive sensitivity experiments, including sustained- and pulsed-shock initiation, projectile-impact initiation, and detonation failure. Predictions of sustained-shock initiation are accurate in accordance with the calibration of the model. Predictions of pulsed-shock initiation are only somewhat more accurate than those achieved previously using Forest Fire. Predictions of projectile-impact initiation are much better. The results for bare explosive show excellent agreement with experiment for both flat- and round-tipped projectiles. With a 2-mm tantalum cover, the agreement is nearly as good. With a 2-mm tantalum cover, the agreement deteriorates for flat- tipped projectiles, while remaining adequate in the case of round-tipped projectiles. The failure radius and thickness predicted with CTH exhibit minimam (near which the solutions are most stable) as functions of zone dimension, but do not appear to converge. These minimum values agree well with experiment. Although no converged solutions were obtained, the most stable failure thickness is approximately equal to the most stable failure radius.

Numerical simulation of compressible, inviscid time-dependent flow is a major branch of computational fluid dynamics. Its primary goal is to obtain accurate representation of the time evolution of complex flow patterns, involving interactions of shocks, interfaces, and rarefaction waves. The Generalized Riemann Problem (GRP) algorithm, developed by the authors for this purpose, provides a unifying 'shell' which comprises some of the most commonly used numerical schemes of this process. This monograph gives a systematic presentation of the GRP methodology, starting from the underlying mathematical principles, through basic scheme analysis and scheme extensions (such as reacting flow or two-dimensional flows involving moving or stationary boundaries). An array of instructive examples illustrates the range of applications, extending from (simple) scalar equations to computational fluid dynamics. Background material from mathematical analysis and fluid dynamics is provided, making the book accessible to both researchers and graduate students of applied mathematics, science and engineering.

The Five-Finger Food Guide is suggested for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. If you are a college student, a busy parent, or someone who works more hours than you admit, the Five-Finger Food Guide will easily keep you on track with smart eating. Your guide goes everywhere you do, and is a handy reminder how you can eat smart in any situation. Margaret Marshall has a career that spans nearly three decades. It has been her daily routine to be welcomed into homes and offices, working with individuals or small groups of people connected by family, neighborhoods, friends, or work environment. She uses her expertise to help groups of familiar people recreate, restructure, and revive their eating. From the many life stories of these clients, she can tell you; The problem in Americas pantries lies in the cupboards of their minds. Margaret appears on TV hosting wellness segments. Her first book, Body, Mind, and MouthLifes Eating Connection, was released in 2012. It depicts how you manage the connection between your mind and your mouth, and enables you to reap the benefits in your body and health. Having a childhood nickname of Margaret, Margaret, the big fat target, it is her passion to help others change their self-image, health, and weight, and in turn, their happiness and level of success. Now she shares her Five-Finger Food Guide to help you eat smart, enjoy eating satisfaction, obtain your ideal body weight, and live a healthier life. Margaret is a nationally recognized speaker, and an expert in her field. She presents her wellness programs at corporate functions and conventions.
