LONG RANGE PROPAGATION OF SPHERICAL SHOCKWAVES FROM EXPLOSIONS IN AIR

Abstract

Hydrocode calculations for spherical shock propagation using the artificial-viscosity method are carried out to 0.2 psi overpressure for a nuclear explosion and for a TNT explosion. An ideal-gas integration from the literature is used to extend the results to .00016 psi.
