Abstract. The assessment of detonation effects in condensed-phase explosives is crucial for both safety and the effective utilization of explosive energy. If the equation of state (EOS) for detonation products is incorporated into CFD codes, steady-state detonation and its various effects on the surrounding environment can be evaluated. Tanaka developed the KHT code as a commercial code and continued updating it until 2009.The development of EOS codes for detonation products is important, and research concerning EOS must be continued and advanced. We started reconstructing a thermodynamic code that includes KHT EOS by using the KHT-code databases. In this paper, the effects of the equation of state for solid components are examined.

Keywords: detonation products; equation of state; KHT
