Hydrocode Calculations of High Length-to-Diameter Cylindrical Explosions in Sand.

Abstract

This document presents wave propagation computer code (hydrocode) calculations of infinitely long Composition B explosive cylinders detonated in a dry, highly porous, sand medium. Scaled free-field pressure and pressure impulse predictions are presented along with reflected pressures.
