Research on the influence of pits on the propagation law of explosion shock waves

Abstract

Abstract To study the influence of pits on shock wave propagation and the propagation of shock waves within pits, numerical simulations were used to calculate the distribution of overpressure peak values at the bottom and rear of the pits at 5 depths and 5 explosion center distances. The results indicate that diffraction occurs when the explosion shock wave passes through the edge of the crater; The peak overpressure of the shock wave at the bottom of the pit exhibits a "spoon shaped" distribution, and the peak overpressure on the right side is significantly higher than that on the left side; There are two distinct boundary regions for the overpressure of the shock wave behind the crater due to the influence of the crater; The distance between the explosion centers has little effect on the distribution trend of the overpressure peak of the shock wave at the bottom and rear of the pit, mainly affecting the magnitude of the overpressure peak. The research results provide theoretical support for the analysis of the propagation law of explosion shock waves and guidance for the design of protective engineering structures, with significant engineering application value.
