Abstract

Some results are given of calculation of the reflection of a blast wave by a rigid flat surface. A model of the explosion with a simple energy dissipation mechanism is considered, radiation being taken into account in the approximation of radiative heat conduction. The pressure distribution on the surface and the flow pattern in the region of propagation of the incident and reflected shock waves are obtained.
