Abstract

Dispersion of liquid or solid aerosol pollutants via an explosive device is a multiple scale process. We model the blast wave propagation with a BKW equation of state using a modification to the hydrodynamic tool box OpenFOAM. (OPENFOAM® is a registered trade mark of OpenCFD Limited, the producer of the OpenFOAM software.) We proceed into a BKW modified Boussinesq phase using the standard k-ε model for turbulent dispersion. The agreement of the detonation product cloud top final height of the computation and field observation is to within 10 ÷ 20 %. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
