... The resulting temperature in this situation will be 2,200 K or 1,925°C. "Water is a low-density compressible material," he commented, "and if you shoot this at plastic or if you shoot it at metal, you're not going to get that temperature." The key feature here is that shockwave created by shooting a flyer plate into a target creates extreme conditions as the shock goes through the sample.

... He noted that understanding hot spots is very important not only for safety, but also for measuring how explosives work. "What matters is the microstructure, so there is a lot of interest in controlling the microstructure." His team developed a method of finding the hot spots in a plastic-bonded explosive.
