AIR SHOCK AND FLOW IN MODEL ROOMS
Abstract
The results of model rooms with entrance baffles and chamber filling are given for two and three-dimensional models exposed to shock waves 5-20 psi overpressure produced in the 5 x 15 inch, 24 inch and 5.5 ft. shock tubes. Additional results are given for a field experiment in which a test structure 8 x 8 x 12 feet size was exposed to a 5 psi overpressure blast wave from the explosion of 500 tons of TNT. The results are presented as pressure-time filling records and high speed photographs to illustrate the shock filling process and the effects from the entrance baffles. A smoke grid technique was used to illustrate the shock filling process.
