Visualization of explosive field

To visualize the explosive field and design a useful and practicable software tool to analyze explosive field, an ideal model 2D of the explosive field with a protective wall, which was simulated by another program MMIC(multi-material in cell), was proposed. The physical data output by MMIC are changed into image data represented by DIB bitmaps through the following steps: normalizing, coding, mapping and displaying. The object oriented method was applied in programming. With the tool, the explosive field with a protective wall is visualized. The overview of explosive field and some details about the transmission of shock wave in the field, such as reflection, flow over an obstacle and Mach reflection, are shown.
