Research progress in chemical reaction kinetics applied in confined explosions
The confined explosions may cause a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. Under such environment, the explosive products and oxygen in the air easily have very active chemical reactions. The research on the chemical reaction kinetics of the confined explosions can get more accurate parameters, such as total pressure, static pressure and total energy, so the physical phenomena including the thermal strain and the mechanics effect can be described more accurately. This is important to consummate the explosion phenomenology. Summarizing the research work at home and abroad, a brief introduction to the developed history and latest investigation on the chemical reaction kinetics applied in the confined explosions was given, and the research results obtained as well as the experimental and the numerical simulation methods were also presented. The focus was on the experimental studies and the numerical simulations of the small equivalent confined explosions, and some further study and problems were pointed out.
