Tomography of the flow field of detonation product using SR

The method of extracting the parameters of gas steady-state flow (velocity field and pressure) from the spatial distribution of density known from experiment is described. The method is based on solving the equations of continuity and motion and does not require any information about the state equation. Using the data of high-speed X-ray density tomography, the spatial distributions of the velocity vector and pressure for the steady-state detonation of cylindrical charges of the pressed mixture of TNT with RDX were obtained.
