In the Saturn air lens a concave brass plate, projected by a cylindrical charge, generates a nearly planar initiation at the face of a second explosive cylinder. The lens has been characterised using data from two experiments in which the donor drives metal plates whose surface motion is determined by laser interferometry. The data from these experiments has allowed a computational model of the lens, based on a Eulerian code with the Lee and Tarver reactive burn model, to be optimised. It was found that modelling the spall of the brass plate and the initiation pattern of the second charge was important. The analysis of previously reported equation of state experiments on low-density foam in which the lens was modelled using a simple 1-D treatment have been reviewed.
