PLANE, CYLINDRICAL, AND SPHERICAL BLAST WAVES BASED UPON OSHIMA48S QUASI-SIMILARITY MODEL

Abstract

Numerical solutions are given for plane, cylindrical, and spherical blast waves in air based upon Oshima's quasi-similarity model. New solutions are given for plane and spherical waves in addition to the cylindrical solutions given previously by Oshima. The results for cylindrical flow do not agree with Oshima's results near the core of the explosion. These differences are discussed, and the precision of the present numerical solution is given. The results provide new data for investigating blast waves or the blast-hypersonic analogy.
