Estimation of Shock Velocity and Pressure of Detonations and Finding Their Flow Parameters
Authors: Mahmoud Zarrini, R. N. Pralhad
Abstract:
In this paper, mathematical modeling of detonation in the ground is studied. Estimation of flow parameters such as velocity, maximum velocity, acceleration, maximum acceleration, shock pressure as a result of an explosion in the ground have been computed in an appropriate dynamic model approach. The variation of these parameters with the diameter of detonation place (L), density of earth or stone (¤ü), time decay of detonation (T), peak pressure (Pm), and time (t) have been analyzed. The model has been developed from the concept of underwater explosions [Refs. [1]-[3]] with appropriate changes to the present model requirements.
Keywords: Shock velocity, detonation, shock acceleration, shock pressure.
