Effects of Terrain on Blast Prediction Methods and Predictions

Abstract

The design of a small charge experiment based on real terrain is given. The model simulates a 125 kt weapon burst at a height of 300m over the prototype terrain. Predictions are shown for the effects of the terrain on the blast wave profile as a function of rising and falling slopes.
