The Variation of Shock Front Properties from a 1-KT. Explosion with Altitude
Abstract
A computer program was developed to present shock front properties in the form of isovalues as functions of altitude of burst and range. This program consisted of a Sachs' scaling routine and a log-log interpolation routine. It was found that overpressure, density, and Rho-U decrease with increasing altitude; particle velocity, density ratio, pressure ratio, and shock strength increase with increasing altitude; thermal flux density and dynamic pressure remain relatively unchanged with increasing altitude.
