N2 - High energy explosives are used in a variety of applications, from military to industrial processes. The use of embedded, inert material "wave shapers" is a primary method to customize the detonation front for desired explosive applications. These systems create detonation states that do not follow the simple line of sight, or Huygens model and, hence, advanced detonation physics with associated theory are required. The theory of detonation shock dynamics (DSD) is one such description used to provide high fidelity modeling of complex wave structures. A collection of experiments using ultra-high speed cameras is presented as a means of obtaining spatial and temporal characteristics of complex detonation fronts that validate the DSD descriptions. The method of test, operational conditions and results are given to demonstrate the use of high-rate imaging of detonation events and how this validates our understanding of the physics and the capability of advanced detonation wave tracking models.
