Existence of entire explosive positive radial solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems

We show the existence of entire explosive positive radial solutions for quasilinear elliptic systems div(|∇u|^m−2∇u)=p(|x|)g(v), div(|∇v|ⁿ⁻²∇v)=q(|x|)f(u) on , where f and g are positive and non-decreasing functions on (0,∞) satisfying the Keller-Osserman condition.     

Clustering and combustion of dilute aluminum particle clouds in a post-detonation flow field

A hybrid two-phase numerical methodology is used to investigate the flow-field subsequent to the detonation of a spherical charge of TNT with an ambient distribution of a dilute cloud of aluminum particles. The interaction of the particle cloud with the contact surface results in Rayleigh–Taylor instability, which grows in time and gives rise to a mixing layer where the detonation products mix with the air and afterburn. At early times, the ambient particles get engulfed into the detonation products and ignite. Subsequently, they catch up with the Rayleigh–Taylor structures, and the vortex rings around the hydrodynamic structures cause transverse dispersion that results in the clustering of particles. Then, the particles leave the mixing layer and quench, yet preserve their hydrodynamic foot print. Preferential heating and combustion of particles occurs due to clustering. A higher initial mass loading in the ambient cloud results in larger clusters due to stronger/larger vortex rings around the hydrodynamic structures. A larger particle size results in the formation of fewer and degenerate clusters when the initial width of the cloud is larger. A theoretical model is used to predict the bubble amplitudes, and are in good accordance with the simulation results. Overall, this study has provided some useful insights on the explosive dispersal of dilute aluminum particle clouds and the gas dynamics of the flow field in the mixing layer.

设Ω是RN（N≥3）中的C2有界区域,f是单调非减的非负连续可微函数满足f＇（a）∫a∞1/f（s）ds≤C0,　a>0.应用一种新型的非线性变换w（x）=∫u（x）∞　ds/f（s）将爆炸解问题△u=k（x）f（u）,u>0,x∈Ω,u|　Ω=∞转化成等价的带奇异项的Dirichlet问题,不仅得到了爆炸解问题解的最小爆炸速度,而且揭示了两类典型非线性爆炸解问题基本上是相同的.应用摄动方法,上下解方法得到了爆炸解的存在性.特别允许非线性项的系数不仅在Ω的内部子区域恒为零而且在Ω上可适当无界.随后再应用摄动方法,将所得结果推广到无界区域,得到了整体爆炸解的存在性以及在无穷远附近的最小爆炸速度（有关文献参见[1-33]）.     

Shock and shear initiation of explosive

Three reaction-rate models, Forest Fire, Arrhenius and a combined Forest Fire and Arrhenius, are incorporated in the hydrocode DEFEL. Simulations with this code for PBX-9404 explosive for bare and covered explosives by fragment impact are made. Results confirm the well-known shock-initiation theory for bare explosives. For explosives with a thick cover plate, code results show macroscopic shear initiation, as proposed by Howe (1985) and Frey (1981).This article was processed using Springer-Verlag TEX Shock Waves macro package 1990.     

Environmental monitoring approaches used during bioremediation of soils contaminated with hazardous explosive chemicals

Defense sites are contaminated with explosives, which are released during manufacturing, firing, testing and training operations; loading, assembly and packing activities; and demilitarization operations. Explosive chemicals are hazardous in nature. Contamination of the soil and the underlying groundwater by explosives pose serious threat to human and animal health and the eco-system. Bioremediation is an eco-friendly technology as it exploits nature’s own agents- the microbes in degrading the contaminant of interest. This waste treatment technology has been extensively studied for degrading the explosive pollutant. Environmental monitoring, a process of systematic collection of data and analysis is essential in performance evaluation of any waste treatment system. This paper gives a comprehensive overview on the environmental monitoring approaches used during bioremediation of explosives contaminated soil. Biogeochemical factors viz., presence and survivability of microbes, bioavailability of the contaminant, pH, temperature, moisture content, redox conditions, presence/addition of substrate and nutrients and presence of intermediates/co-contaminants in the soil environment that are reported to affect the bioremediation of explosives are highlighted. Details on physical, chemical and biological parameters monitored during bioremediation are included. Advancements in instrumental techniques are evolving rapidly and its application in bioremediation approaches promise an enhanced understanding of the mineralization of explosive in the soil environment. Recent developments in application of advanced analytical instrumentation techniques, future research insights with recommendations, which will illuminate the selection of appropriate monitoring tool for evaluating bioremediation are also summarized.

Structure and properties of detonation waves of heterogeneous explosives from the point of view of the hot spots mechanism

It is assumed that the chemical reaction of a detonation transformation, that is, burning, arises first in separate hot spots originated by the explosive compression behind or within the detonation wave front due to heterogeneity of charges, instability of the detonation wave, etc. Then the burning spreads around into the bulk of the explosive and is completed in the Chapman–Jouguet plane, where the detonation product velocity relative to the detonation front is equal to the sound velocity. A simple analytical method proposed early by the authors is used to calculate the expression for the detonation transformation time, from which it follows that there are at least two nondimensional numbers defining the possibility of the realization of the mechanism mentioned above. The first one is the Frank-Kamenetskii number, that is, the relation of the characteristic time of the cooling of the hot spot to the adiabatic induction period at some characteristic temperature of the hot spot. The hot spot mechanism is realized if the Frank-Kamenetskii number is greater than the critical one that determines the minimum possible size of hot spots capable of ignition. The second number is the relation of the detonation transformation time in the presence of hot spots to the reaction time in accordance with classical mechanism. The hot spot mechanism at detonation is realized if this number is less than unity. By means of the numbers proposed, some interpretations of available experimental data concerning the detonation process are given.
