Abstract
Abstract The analytical model developed by Gurney is a seminal tool for analyzing the acceleration of metal flyers driven by detonating high explosives. Despite the continued relevance of this model, relatively few experimental validations over a wide range of flyer‐to‐charge mass ratios exist in the open literature. The current study presents experimental results for planar aluminum flyers propelled by a conventional explosive over a range of mass ratios varying from 4.65 to 0.03. Flyer velocity was measured via Heterodyne Laser Velocimetry (PDV), permitting a continuous measurement of the acceleration process. Measured flyer velocities are compared to terminal velocity estimations from the Gurney model. Experimental terminal velocities are compared to the open face and asymmetric sandwich Gurney models. Excellent agreement is observed for terminal velocity predictions considering the gasdynamic simplifications inherent in the model formulation.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
