The increase in temperature by shock‐compression of non‐porous high explosives was calculated by the Walsh‐Christian technique. Extension of this model to porous media enabled us to calculate the increase in temperature of shock compressed porous high explosives at different loading densities. As an example, calculations have been performed for Composition B at different loading densities. The results are discussed.
