for our Simulation as a Service Products

CaThe validation

An extensive validation of CaThe, our thermochemical code, has been performed by comparing its results with experimental data, to assess accuracy. The findings are based on a series of tests designed to ensure the reliability of the code’s predictions.

Key Details
  • Comparison of calculated velocities of detonation (VODs) against experimental data for a wide range of explosives with varying properties
  • Verification of the relationship between VOD and the explosive’s initial density
  • Comparison of calculated isentropic expansion with experimentally calibrated reference curves
  • RateStick validation

    RateStick has been validated against experimental data, demonstrating accurate predictions of velocity of detonation (VOD) under varying confinement conditions and charge diameters.

    Key Details
  • Overview of the mathematical model, numerical method and implementation of the underlying code
  • Case study of EM120D, an ANFO-based emulsion, with experimental comparison of VODs under different
    – confinement materials

    – charge diameters
