Dear Dr ***:

It is my deciison that your manuscript is unsuitable for publication in Journal of Energetic Materials. I make allowances for the English writing of authors that are not native English speakers. However, there are so many anomalies, unexplained bits of the diagrams, and random, seemingly irrelevant words and impenetrable English that I cannot consider reproducing it in the Journal.

From the technical point of view I find the use of an ideal gas equation of state distracting and unnecessary.

For your information I attach the reviewer comments at the bottom of this email. I hope you will find them to be constructive and helpful. You are of course now free to submit the paper elsewhere should you choose to do so.

Thank you for considering Journal of Energetic Materials. I hope the outcome of this specific submission will not discourage you from the submission of future manuscripts.

Sincerely,
Professor ***

Comments to the Author
The authors answered the 13 comments. They also improved the English and made the Figures easier to read. The English is not perfect. The mathematical model using the perfect gas law is unnecessary and far from the real pressures at several tens of GPa. Of course, these ideal gas pressures are far too high, because a Gruneisen EOS must be used for a condensed phase detonation and its overdriven states. This analysis should be omitted, because the authors have good hydrodynamic calculations and pressure measurements. The experiments are new and clever and should be published eventually.

Comments to the Author
Dear Dr Xue,
I am sorry to say that I found your paper extremely difficult to read. English requires the accurate use of definite article 'the' and the indefinite article 'a', or 'an'. These are often omitted, or used incorrectly throughout the document. This makes it difficult for a reader whose first language is English to understand what is being written. I also found many cases where you used words which I found inappropriate to the context. For example, in the abstract you write "For exploring.....a spherical shaped booster...". As far as I can see the booster is annular, although you show in Figure 6 a disk-shaped booster.

Let me try to help a little by rewriting what I think you are trying to say in the abstract.

"A Study of the Detonation Behavior of Annular Booster Pellets.
An annular-shaped booster pellet has been developed in order to study the capability of such a design to initiate the detonation of Insensitive High Explosives (IHE). The detonation characteristics of an annular booster design were studied theoretically by numerical simulation and experimentally. Results showed that if the annular booster pellet were detonated simultaneously at 4 symmetrical points detonation wave collision could be achieved within the pellet. The pairs of impacts of the 4 detonation wave-fronts generated enhanced shock pressures in 4 radially symmetric directions. These enhanced energy flow regions play a major part in improving the initiation capability of an annular booster pellet compared with a conventional cylindrical one. The convergence of the 4 detonation waves at the axis of the charge also generate an enhanced initiation capability there."

I have not had time to revise the whole of your document, but here are one or two suggestions for improvements in the sense.

Page 1, line 37; I do not understand what you mean by 'Leading to traditional.....'. The word 'Leading' is inappropriate. Perhaps the red typescript would be better phrased as follows: 'Traditional, cylindrical booster pellets have had to be modified to ensure the reliable initiation of insensitive explosives. There has been a gradual emergence of specially shaped structures [3,4], initiation mode diversification [5] and converging output energy [6,7].

A small note here is also important. You write frequently about 'initiation energy'. This concept includes no reference to the time over which the energy is delivered. If energy alone were important, it would not matter if it were delivered over a nanosecond or a year. There must be an element of time in the delivery phase as well as sufficient intensity of the stimulus. The rise time of the pressure input may be very steep, but it is not infinitely so, since the reaction zone width, while small is not infinitely so.

Page 1, line 48; the word "trend" is unnecessary here. A better wording would be '....the different sections of the detonation waveform and its associated pressure changes in the whole shock to detonation transition (SDT) were simulated. Finally, the mechanical behavior of the convergent energy in the tangential directions at the head-on collision points was studied using a steel witness plate.'

Page 2, line 32; you refer to Figure 2 where a hatched area is said to represent the booster and a shaded area is said to represent the charge. Figure 2 does not show this distinction. It merely shows the hatched area.

Page 2, line 38; I am unsure whether it is necessary for you to expand in depth the argument on plane wave reflection on a rigid boundary using the Ideal Gas Equation of State. The hydrodynamic software uses the JWL Equation of State. The answers are different and as you report, use of the Ideal Gas Equation of State gives results different from the JWL EOS as expected. May I suggest that you consider omitting the discussion using the Ideal Gas Equation of State and merely refer to the fact that using it, the results are as expected, bearing in mind that the JWL Equation of state is a more nearly exact presentation of the pressure, volume and temperature relationships than the Ideal Gas Equation of State.

Page 3, line 48; the centimeter-gram-microsecond system of units is not widely used now.

Figures 4 and 5 are quite helpful, especially the letters O, A, B, etc indicating positions and planes in the annular pellet.

However, Figure 6 suddenly refers to a solid disk, without any clear explanation why.

Figures 9 and 10 have appended to them in red an explanation which merely makes me more confused. ' In Fig. 9 and 10, is all element of the booster, is AA'B'B....etc' presumably refers to the different colored lines showing pressure as a function of time. These 2 diagrams are completely negated, since the vital key to which line represents which part of the annular booster is not shown.

I hope that you can see how difficult your document is to understand because of the inconsistencies and omissions in the diagrams and the text. As a result the casual reader would not be able to follow your arguments very easily.

There is a great deal of work which needs to be done on this paper before it is suitable for publication in The Journal of Energetic Materials. I am sorry to be so brutal, especially since I could not write a word of Mandarin or Cantonese. I have tried to be helpful and in no way wish to disparage your work.
