The aim of this research was to determine the thermobaric effect of cast composite explosives, with different masses and dimensions of the chosen explosive charges. This was done by measuring the shock wave parameters in air (maximum overpressure and pressure impulse) and quantifying the thermal effect (temperature-time dependence), at different distances from the centre of the detonation. The chosen thermobaric explosive composition, TBE-3, was characterized. Its density, detonation velocity and viscosity-time dependence were determined. Experimental samples of different masses and calibres were prepared. The shock wave parameters in air were determined in field tests, by measuring the overpressure by piezo-electric pressure transducers. The detonation and the expansion of the explosion products were filmed by a TV high-speed camera, Phantom V9. An infrared (IR) camera FLIR SC7200 was used for recording the IR scene of the explosions and for tracking the thermal effects by a thermographic technique, i.e. thermal imaging. This work is an initial step towards establishing a method for the quantification of the thermal effects of a thermobaric detonation.

Organic fuel based pyrotechnic charges for gas generators (GG) of Base Bleed (BB) projectiles have shown better combustion characteristics than metallic based ones. Since organic fuel based compositions are representative of energy poor pyrotechnic mixtures, they combust at lower combustion velocities. Conventional methods for heat transfer enhancement of GG charges, based on the introduction of metallic fuel components into pyrotechnic mixtures, are very successful in raising the combustion velocity, but inevitably, they also tend to force production of solid and liquid combustion products which reduce the GG charge’s functionality. In this paper, the results obtained by inserting copper wires (copper wire heat guides (HG)) into organic-based gas generator charges will be presented. The aim of inserting copper wires was to enhance the combustion velocity by influencing on the thermal heat transfer of GG charges. The results have shown that copper wire heat guides had a positive influence on the GG charges heat transfer, resulting in a 15-20% rise in the combustion velocity, without any of the side effects observed in the case of the addition of metallic fuels to GG charges.
