To-scale snapshots from molecular dynamics simulations illustrating hot-spot formation during pore collapse. The images show pores with diameters of 60, 100, 200 and 300 nanometers, illustrating that pores larger than 20 nanometers generate hot spots with scale-invariant (independent of size) temperature distributions.

Simulating hot-spot formation in insensitive high explosives

Using the Sierra supercomputer, an LLNL team has made significant progress in understanding how microscopic hot spots form in insensitive high explosives based on TATB.
