Contents:
Some Basic Air Blast Definitions -- The Rankine–Hugoniot Relations -- Formation of Blast Waves -- Ideal High Explosive Detonation Waves -- Cased Explosives -- Blast Wave Propagation -- Boundary Layers -- Particulate Entrainment and Acceleration -- Instabilities -- Measurement Techniques -- Scaling Blast Parameters -- Blast Wave Reflections -- Height of Burst Effects -- Structure Interactions -- External Detonations -- Internal Detonations -- Simulation Techniques -- Some Notes on Non-ideal Explosives -- Modeling Blast Waves.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book examines blast waves—their methods of generation, their propagation in several dimensions through the real atmosphere and layered gases, and their interactions with simple structures—thereby providing a broad overview of the field. The intended audience has a basic knowledge of algebra and a good grasp of the concepts of conservation of mass and energy. The text includes an introduction to blast wave terminology and conservation laws, and there is a discussion of units and the importance of consistency. This new edition of Blast Waves has been thoroughly updated and includes two new chapters that cover numerical hydrodynamics and blast injury. Authored by an expert with over forty years of experience in the field of blast and shock, this book offers many lessons as well as a historical perspective on developments in the field.
