Abstract
Liquid explosive dispersal refers to the process in which the instantaneous high pressure generated by explosive detonation drives the liquid within the device. This paper reviews domestic and international research on liquid explosive dispersal, categorizing it into core directions including dispersal mechanism, influencing factors, and numerical simulation, and systematically summarizes the research progress of key parameters during the liquid explosive dispersal process.
