title = "Cut-off velocity of shaped-charge jet",
abstract = "In studying the cutoff velocity mechanism of ideal jets that do not drift, it is predicted by the SCAN code that the minimum possible ratio between the hole and the jet radius in the penetration of copper jet into steel, is 2.383 regardless of the steel target hardness. This value is calculated from the Tate's model, as is presented in the paper. When the ideal jet penetrates further than this minimum the crater widens. As a result the jet material flows backwards into the incoming jet flow. This is shown by simulation to give rise to interference that is expected to causes an inevitable cutoff in the penetration process, even for a fully straight jet. The jet velocity value at this point represents a limit value for the maximum penetration depth of this jet, and it depends on the target material strength.",
