In order to study the relationship between charge size and thermal initiation critical temperature of explosive in defined conditions,cook-off test about JH explosive was carried out at a heating rate of 1 ℃/min using self-designed cook-off experiment setup based on thermostatic control technology.Numerical simulation was conducted to study the effects of different charge sizes on thermal initiation critical temperature of explosives with FLUENT software.Experiment results show that there is a thermal initiation critical temperature in cook-off bomb.Simulation results show that when the ratio of the length to diameter of explosives grains is a fixed value,the thermal initiation critical temperature of explosives decreases with the increase of the diameter of explosives grains.When the grains diameter of explosives increase up to a certain value,the influence of charge size on thermal initiation critical temperature tends to be weakened.Charge size has no influence on the ignition point of explosives.The ignition point is always in the center of the grain.
