The paper uses computational fluid dynamics to numerically predict explosion impulse and overpressure from a “green” high-energy metal-organic framework (HE-MOF) with a three-block obstacle geometry, implemented with OpenFOAM’s explosiveSonicFoam, SnappyHexMesh meshing, and large eddy simulation plus a Beker–Kistiakowsky–Wilson real-gas equation of state. The simulation was validated against Kingery–Bulmash experimental TNT data by comparing pressure histories at multiple points, with reported deviation errors of 3–14% for overpressure and 20% for impulse. Block structures were reported to reduce peak incident pressure by 26.4%, and HE-MOF was found to produce impulse about 2.5× (non-obstructed) and 2.28× (obstructed) relative to TNT, alongside visualization of incident and reflected pressure surfaces. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

In this investigation, a geometry of three-block obstacles has been studied under the explosion of a green high-energy metal organic framework (HE-MOF) martial with the implementation of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) domain. Control volume generated mesh in SnappyHexMesh was utilized with boundary conditions and initial values to resolve the system of equations in explosiveSonicFoam (a modified module of OpenFoam technology). The numerical simulation method was validated using the experimental data obtained by Kingery-Bulmash trinitrotoluene (TNT). The large eddy simulation (LES) method as a turbulence model and the Beker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson (BKW) model as a real gas equation of state were employed to enhance the accuracy of simulations. [Cu(Htztr) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] n was selected as HE-MOF due to its appropriate explosive specifications, which come from its special chemical structure. Pressure history on the domain has been measured at various points. TNT equivalency validation had shown a deviation error of 3–14% and 20% for overpressure and impulse, respectively in comparison with Kingery-Bulmash empirical data. Further, it was shown that block structures reduced 26.4% of peak incident pressure. The results of the current study suggested that HE-MOF produced an impulse of 2.5 and 2.28 greater than TNT in the non-obstructed and the obstructed sides of the explosion, respectively. Supersonic flow visualization clearly showed positive reflected and incident pressure surface. The comparisons between TNT and selected HE-MOF demonstrated higher blast wave intensity and under-effected areas of HE-MOF.
