Abstract

In this study, a ubiquitiform hotspot ignition model with cross-scale characteristics is proposed to describe the ignition stage of PBX, which can account for heterogeneous effects. Firstly, a ubiquitiform model of hotspot intensity is obtained. The model can describe the hotspot information after PBX is impacted. In which, a hotspot distribution model based on the nested ubiquitiform model of explosives is used to characterize geometric properties of hotspot, including the size and location of hotspot; and the Weibull statistical distribution function is used to describe the distribution of hotspot intensity. Then, combining the ubiquitiform model of hotspot intensity with Arrhenius model, the ubiquitiform hotspot ignition model is developed to characterize the ignition stage of PBX. Finally, it is found that the equivalent reaction rate constants calculated by our ignition model are in good agreement with the previous experimental data.
