Nuclear Explosions - Peaceful Applications. Airblast and Craters from Rows of Two to Twenty-Five Buried HE Charges
Abstract
Airbiast was measured perpendicular to and off the ends of row-charge explosions and compared with airblast from single charges. It was found that P(sub row) approx. equal n(sup Beta) P(sub single), where p is peak overpressure and n the number of charges. Beta was different for each blast parameter examined: ground-shock-induced peak overpressure, peak overpressure from venting gas, peak negative pressure, and positive and negative impulse. Values of Beta increased as spacing decreased. Airblast was always greater perpendicular to the row than off the end, by an amount which increased as the number of charges increased.
