Experimental data from many scientific publications reveal that the copper cylinder test used internationally to measure an explosive's Gurney Velocity and Gurney Energy falls within a unique combination of geometry and material properties - factors affecting an explosive's measured performance. These data also support the need to use two separate propulsion events to model detonation-driven propulsion: a brisant first stage and a gas-dynamic second stage.
