STUDIES ON SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS. Final Report [electronic resource]

The entire range of shock propagation, from the close-in phase to the elastic behavior, is studied. Under equation of state studies it is shown thermodynamically that the waste heat is the result of entropy changes and the absorption of thermal energy by the dense constituents in mixtures of solids...

520 3 |a The entire range of shock propagation, from the close-in phase to the elastic behavior, is studied. Under equation of state studies it is shown thermodynamically that the waste heat is the result of entropy changes and the absorption of thermal energy by the dense constituents in mixtures of solids and air. Fluid thermodynamic properties of a gassolid mixture are studied. An analytical solution for a spherical shock wave with constant compressed density is presented. An analytical expression is derived for the acceleration behind a spherical shock wave and compared with experimental results. Cratering from surface and shallowburied nuclear detonations is analyzed. The implications of the radiation phase of a nuclear detonation on cavitation in a camouflat-type nuclear detonation are covered. Highexplosive and nuclear detonations are analyzed on the basis of theoretical information and TNT field tests. Encouraging results are obtained for correlating high-explosive tests and nuclear detonations as bases for predicting nuclear detonation effects. A graphical general solution for refraction at an interface that overcomes obstacles posed for mathematical analyses of the problems is presented. This method is applied to a refraction at the earth's surface from a shallow-buried nuclear detonation. (auth)
