Computer simulation of physicochemical processes in reactive powder materials

A computer model for the physicochemical processes attendant on surface emission of reactive powder systems under dynamic loading was constructed. Allowance was made for the presence of a periodic macroscopic structure with a nonuniform distribution of the phase concentration over a powder compact and for the possibility of coupled mechanical-modification processes, of enhancing the reactivity of powder components (mechanical activation), of establishing heat balance, of phase transitions, liquid-phase component filtration, and changes in the aggregative and structural states of the material in all stages of physicochemical transformations. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
