Predictive model of back-wall overpressure behind a cantilever wall

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
To reduce the hazards posed by blast shock waves, important potential targets are usually shielded by cantilever walls. The main factor that indicates whether there is damage is the back-wall overpressure, and of concern here is predicting the back-wall ...

Flow Field Simulation and Efficiency Calculation of Muzzle Brake Based on ANSYS Fluent [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The development of advanced artillery needs to be combined with simulation means, so, traditional calculation method and the flow field simulation method was employed to calculate the efficiency of a largecaliber muzzle brake we designed, and the results

BLEVE overpressure: Multiscale comparison of blast wave modeling [PDF]

open access: yesProcess Safety Progress, 2013
BLEVE overpressure modeling has been already widely studied but only few validations including the scale effect have been made. After a short overview of the main models available in literature, a comparison is done with different scales of measurements, taken from previous studies or coming from experiments performed in the frame of this research ...

Experimental study on the characteristics of overpressure wave to ventilation facilities during gas explosion and automatic shock relief devices

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
Ventilation facilities could easily be destroyed by gas explosion in a coal mine and usually lead to the cascade collapse of the entire ventilation system.

Comparative analysis of BLEVE mechanical energy and overpressure modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mechanical effects of a BLEVE are overpressure and ejection of fragments. Although fragments reach much longer distances, peak overpressure can be very strong over a certain area.

Penetration and internal blast behavior of reactive liner enhanced shaped charge against concrete space

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2022
Penetration and internal blast behavior of reactive liner enhanced shaped charge against concrete space were investigated through experiments and simulations. The volume of the enclosed concrete space is about 15 m3.

Numerical investigation on free air blast loads generated from center-initiated cylindrical charges with varied aspect ratio in arbitrary orientation

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2022
In current guidelines, the free air blast loads (overpressure and impulse) are determined by spherical charges, although most of ordnance devices are more nearly cylindrical than spherical in geometry.

Effects of intravitreal injection of siRNA against caspase-2 on retinal and optic nerve degeneration in air blast induced ocular trauma

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Ocular repeated air blast injuries occur from low overpressure blast wave exposure, which are often repeated and in quick succession. We have shown that caspase-2 caused the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) after blunt ocular trauma.

Localizing Clinical Patterns of Blast Traumatic Brain Injury Through Computational Modeling and Simulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Blast traumatic brain injury is ubiquitous in modern military conflict with significant morbidity and mortality. Yet the mechanism by which blast overpressure waves cause specific intracranial injury in humans remains unclear.

Evaluation of Blast Overpressure Exposure Effects on Concentration of Antibiotics in Mice [PDF]

open access: yesMilitary Medicine, 2020
ABSTRACT Objective Infection as sequelae to explosion-related injury is an enduring threat to our troops. There are limited data on the effects of blast on antibiotic pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy.
