Accelerating material to very high speed (up to multiple km/s) is one of the primary uses of high explosives. Thus, the magnitude and mechanisms of energy transfer from a detonating high explosive (HE) to material placed in contact with the charge are critical in engineering applications. When heterogeneous, non-conventional explosives are used to drive material, or when heterogeneous material is driven by explosives, mesoscale multiphase interactions and dissipative mechanisms complicate the analysis and modelling of the explosive-material interaction using both analytic techniques and finite element codes.First, a planar flyer plate charge leveraging Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) was designed to measure the explosive output of hetero...
