INBLAST - A New and Revised Computer Code for the Prediction of Blast Inside Closed or Vented Structures

Abstract

The computer code INBLAS was developed and published in the early 1970's to describe the blast produced by the reaction of energetic materials inside closed or partially vented structures. Since that time, refinements have been made to several of the code algorithms. These changes have been collected into a new version of the code called INBLAST. This version is designed to run on a desk top personal computer. The code is briefly described. Sample problems are presented and some of the results are compared with experimental data.
