Study of Jet Flows Using Pulsed Radiography at Explosive Loading of the Hemispherical Shell

   The paper presents the results of computational and experimental study of jet flows under loading of the hemispherical steel shell by explosion products. For two characteristic times, experimental radiographs are compared with X-ray patterns obtained by Monte-Carlo numerical simulation of the transmission of calculated gas-dynamic cuts of the object under study. The experiments are performed using X-ray facility based on linear induction accelerator LIA-20. The main elements and characteristics of the X-ray facility are given. Simulation was performed using GRAD and PRISMA software packages.
