Validation of a Pressure Dependent PBX 9501 Cookoff Model
Abstract
A pressure dependent cookoff model for PBX 9501 was developed. This cookoff model was implemented in the finite element (FE) heat transfer code Aria and was used to simulate a set of cookoff experiments. This set is called the Large Scale Annular Cookoff (LSAC) experiments. Three dimensional and axisymmetric heat conduction FE models were implemented to simulate these experiments. The predictive ability of the PBX 9501 pressure dependent cookoff model was evaluated using Latin Hypercube sampling (LHS). Predictions of the thermal times to ignition and temperatures are compared with the experiments.
