(More customer reviews)This book truly is the ultimate text for anyone who is interested in the workings and chemistry of everyday explosive devices. Although it is recommended that the reader have a high ranking background in this type of field, I must say that as a 15 year old rocket science enthusiast I found that comprehending the material provided by this text was a relatively easy task. I believe that if the reader has a strong interest in this type of field and/or in chemistry in general and has little difficulty understanding general chem concepts, that this book is probably for you.
However, I must confess that certain pieces of the work presented in this book are a little harder to understand than other sections. Such as the section that deals with fluid dynamics which I personely had a little more difficulty understanding. But, do not be intimidated for this is quite expected of the reader, any reader, even a scientist. One has to realise that this is a complicated field of interest, nevertheless, anybody who is dedicated to learning the science can understand it.
To me, this book was of great practicality when conducting my own reasearch and development of slightly modernized model rocket engines. It also played a big role in my science fair project when I used some of the general concepts in the book to provide explanations of how my modernized engine designs were more efficient than conventional mass manufactured engines.
All in all a great reference to have and cherish fit for anyone with an interest in the field of explosives, chemistry and physics.

Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants incorporates the considerable changes the personal computer has brought to numerical modeling since the first book was published, and includes new three-dimensional modeling techniques and new information on propellant performance and vulnerability. Both an introduction to the physics and chemistry of explosives and propellants and a guide to numerical modeling of detonation and reactive fluid dynamics, it offers scientists and engineers a complete picture of the current state of explosive and propellant technology and numerical modeling. The accompanying CD-ROM contains computer codes that are the national standard by which modeling is evaluated.
