Abstract
Equations modeling compaction in a mixture of granular high explosive and interstitial gas are solved numerically. Both phases are modeled as compressible, viscous fluids. This overcomes well known difficulties associated with computing shock jumps in the inviscid version of the equations, which cannot be posed in a fully conservative form. One-dimensional shock tube and piston-driven compaction solutions compare favorably with experiment and known analytic solutions. A simple two-dimensional extension is presented.
