Abstract:
Recent fits to data and calculational results provide simple analytic approximations to the overpressure and dynamic pressure from nuclear explosions. The analytic forms provide fits as a function of ground range and height-of- burst for time of arrival, peak overpressure, peak dynamic pressure, onset of Mach reflection, duration of positive phase for both dynamic and overpressure, time histories for overpressure and dynamic pressure, dynamic pressure impulse and overpressure impulse (in the positive phase), and other blast parameters.
