title = "Influence of the post-detonation burning process on blast wave parameters in air",
abstract = "Detonation products of explosives with negative oxygen balance continue to release energy by a process of burning, after the detonation has ended. This process influences blast wave duration measured close to the surface of the explosive. Such an effect is evident in the CONWEP empirical database where an unexpected non monotonic variation in the duration-distance curve is observed. This paper reports the development of a burning model implemented within an AUTODYN finite differences code, which effectively simulates the effect. Calibration of the model for TNT and RDX explosives was obtained experimentally and with the CONWEP database. Good agreement was obtained between the numerical and the experimental results. Analysis of the influence of the burning process on the blast waves' pulse duration raises questions about the validity of using TNT as a {"}ruler{"} for blast parameter predictions for other explosives.",
