Wave Explosive (Blast)

A blast wave is an effect that occurs when liquids, gases or bulk materials move. It is characterized by a rapid and strong change in the speed of movement of matter.

This effect can occur under various conditions, for example, when liquid passes through narrow channels, when gases are released from a nozzle, when rain falls on the surface of the earth, etc.

The blast wave has several properties that make it so effective. Firstly, it has high energy, which allows it to spread quickly over long distances. Secondly, it has a high speed, which ensures a rapid change in the speed of movement of the substance. Thirdly, blast wave can be used to transmit energy over long distances, which makes it useful in various fields, for example, hydrodynamics, atmospheric physics, geophysics, etc.



The blast wave that occurs during an explosion can be divided into two components: the action of a moving air shock wave and the subsequent development of the action of a compression wave of shock air. During the movement of an air shock wave, a significant increase in pressure during compression is observed



A blast wave is a high-power acoustic wave that occurs as a result of a strong explosion and affects a person, leading to serious soft tissue injuries. An explosion can occur when explosives explode, that is, substances capable of releasing oxygen; or gunpowder, weapons, ammunition, detonator (missiles), or other weapons of mass destruction.

As a rule, there is a decrease in the level of the shock wave, a weakening of its penetrating ability, as a result of the weakening of the sound wave at large distances from the epicenter of the explosion. To weaken the effect of the sound wave of shock waves
