The Ultimate Distribution of Energy in a Spherical Explosion

Abstract

Ultimately, at relatively large distances from the source, there is some similarity between the blast waves from all explosions. Various authors have demonstrated this mathematically, but have not drown attention to the fact that their results are not entirely compatible with the classical hypothesis that, ultimately, blast waves becomes less and less aware of the nature or the explosion and tend to depend only on the magnitude of the energy release.
