Estimates of air-column density evolution behind strong airblasts
Abstract
The behavior of the density profile behind a strong airblast and its scaling with yield in the form of approximate analytical formulae are summarized, and then are applied to obtain the time histories of air column densities out to various radii from the burst point.
