Simulating Blast Wave Propagation

  • Published:
Computational Mathematics and Modeling Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The article focuses on a numerical analysis of the propagation of a blast wave — a wave with a short positive phase — in a gaseous medium. The wave is formed as a result of time and space localized emission of energy modeling the conditions of a concrete physical experiment. The numerical results are compared with experiments.
