Shock wave propagation characteristics of aluminum‐containing explosive in corrugated steel‐lined tunnel

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.
