Abstract:
      The chemical explosion with the same energy density and in the same medium, satisfies the similarity laws in explosion. Scale experiment is widely adopted as an economical technique in this kind of experiment. The sand-walls usually are applied to assure safety in experiments, which can absorb explosion energy and weaken the shock wave. For studying the effect of energy absorption of sand-walls on similarity laws in explosion, 1_D numerical model of chemical explosion is set up and three physics models under the different scale ratio (1∶1/1∶5/1∶10) are simulated using the two phase program. The numerical results show that chemical explosion no longer satisfies the similarity laws because of the effect of energy absorption of sand-walls.
