Surrogating Sub-Scale Munitions with Simple Cased Cylinders for Airblast Prediction Purposes

摘要

A series of experiments was devised that involved both generic sub- scale munitions and carefully designed cased cylinder surrogates. Three tests of each configuration were performed producing measured airblast fields of peak pressure and peak impulse for each. These airblast fields were then inspected to determine if the cased cylinder surrogates produced an airblast field that was satisfactorily similar to the generic sub-scale munition. A description of these experiments and a discussion of the results are presented in this paper.
