Abstract

An Excel\(\copyright \) interface has been developed to provide the physical properties of blast waves produced by surface-burst TNT explosions. The format is identical to that of a previous interface that provides the properties of blast waves from free-field TNT explosions. These interfaces have been developed to replace the information previously provided by a program named \(\text {AirBlast}^{\circledR }\), which is no longer compatible with modern operating systems. Excel\(\copyright \) has been chosen as the platform for the new interfaces because it is widely available, and experience has shown that its files have remained compatible with all operating systems as they have been upgraded. The TNT surface-burst interface has been developed using the same database of experimental measurements as \(\text {AirBlast}^\circledR \), which was gathered from an analysis of the blast waves from over 300 explosions, ranging in size from 4 kg to 500 t. The availability of the data from the free-field and the surface-burst interfaces has permitted a comparison between the two types of blast waves, and in particular the confirmation of previous measures of the reflection factor for surface-burst explosions.

提供地表爆炸TNT爆炸冲击波物理特性的界面

已经开发了一个Excel \(\copyright \)界面来提供地表爆炸TNT爆炸产生的冲击波的物理特性。该格式与先前提供自由场TNT爆炸冲击波特性的界面相同。开发这些接口是为了取代以前由名为\(\text {AirBlast}^{\circledR }\)的程序提供的信息，该程序不再与现代操作系统兼容。之所以选择Excel \(\copyright \)作为新界面的平台，是因为它广泛可用，而且经验表明，它的文件在升级后仍然与所有操作系统兼容。TNT表面爆炸界面是使用与\(\text {AirBlast}^\circledR \)相同的实验测量数据库开发的，该数据库是通过对300多次爆炸的冲击波进行分析而收集的，大小从4公斤到500吨不等。自由场和表面爆炸界面数据的可用性允许对两种类型的冲击波进行比较，特别是确认了先前对表面爆炸反射系数的测量。

期刊介绍： Shock Waves provides a forum for presenting and discussing new results in all fields where shock and detonation phenomena play a role. The journal addresses physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians working on theoretical, experimental or numerical issues, including diagnostics and flow visualization. The research fields considered include, but are not limited to, aero- and gas dynamics, acoustics, physical chemistry, condensed matter and plasmas, with applications encompassing materials sciences, space sciences, geosciences, life sciences and medicine. Of particular interest are contributions which provide insights into fundamental aspects of the techniques that are relevant to more than one specific research community. The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles and short notes, as well as comments on papers already published in this journal. Occasionally concise meeting reports of interest to the Shock Waves community are published.
