Now Available: NUMERICAL MODELING OF EXPLOSIVES AND PROPELLANTS, Third Edition, by Charles L. Mader

Examines the latest major breakthrough in modeling explosives and propellants ;
Describes and applies the new AMR reactive hydrodynamics NOBEL code to radiographic studies generated using the proton radiographic diagnostic tool PRad;
Comes packaged with a CD-ROM that contains—
o FORTRAN and executable computer codes that operate under Microsoft® Windows Vista operating system and the OS X operating system for Apple computers
o Windows Vista and MAC compatible movies and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter
o Explosive and shock wave databases generated at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Russian Federal Nuclear Centers

Charles Mader's three-pronged approach - through text, computer programs and animations - imparts a thorough understanding of new computational methods and experimental measuring techniques while also providing tools to put these methods to effective use.
