It highlights the shortcomings of the current\u003cbr\u003eengineering codes based on a classical plane wave model of the\u003cbr\u003ephenomenon, and why these tools must fail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time all the explosion phenomena are described in terms\u003cbr\u003eof proper assemblages of hot spots, which emit pressure waves and\u003cbr\u003eassociated near field terms in flow. Not all of the approaches are\u003cbr\u003enew. Some even date back to the 19th century or earlier.. What is new\u003cbr\u003eis the application of these approaches to explosion phenomena. In\u003cbr\u003eorder to make these tools easily available to the current detonation\u003cbr\u003ephysicist, basic acoustics is therefore also addressed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhereas the current plane wave, homogeneous flow detonation physics\u003cbr\u003eis an excellent engineering tool for numerical predictions under\u003cbr\u003egiven conditions, the multi-hot-spot-model is an additional tool for\u003cbr\u003eanalyzing phenomena that cannot be explained by classical\u003cbr\u003ecalculations. The real benefit comes from being able to understand, \u003cbr\u003ewithout any artificial assumptions, the whole phenomenology of\u003cbr\u003edetonations and explosions. By specifying pressure generating\u003cbr\u003emechanisms, one is able to see that the current treatment of the\u003cbr\u003edetonics of energetic materials is only a very special - but powerful\u003cbr\u003e- case of explosion events and hazards. It becomes clear that\u003cbr\u003ephysical explosions must be taken into account in any safety\u003cbr\u003econsiderations. In these terms it is easy to understand why even\u003cbr\u003eliquid carbon dioxide and inert silo materials can explode. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique collection of unexpected events, which might surprise even\u003cbr\u003especialists, has resulted from the evaluation of the model. Therefore\u003cbr\u003ethis book is valuable for each explosion and safety scientist for the\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding and forecasting of unwanted events. The text mainly\u003cbr\u003eaddresses the next generation of explosion and detonation scientists, \u003cbr\u003ewith the goal of promoting the science of detonation on a new\u003cbr\u003ephysical basis. For this reason gaps in current knowledge are also\u003cbr\u003eaddressed. The science of explosions is not fully mature, but is\u003cbr\u003estill in its beginning - and the tools necessary for furthering the\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding of these phenomena have been with us for centuries. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45310489952407,"sku":"9780444513328","price":17678.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780444513328.webp?v=1769288030","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/assessment-of-safety-and-risk-with-a-microscopic-model-of-detonation-9780444513328","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
