Models for Munition Dust Clouds.

Abstract

This report presents models for the dust clouds which are produced by battlefield munitions impacting the ground. Models are developed for: Dust mass lofted into the cloud; Cloud rise and expansion time history; Dust mass distribution within the cloud; Dust particle wind transport, diffusion, and fallout; Dust particle size probability distributions; and Radiation cross sections of the dust particles.
