CAVITY EXPLOSION CALCULATIONS FOR THE COWBOY PROGRAM
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4038247
Calculations are reported which correspond to the cavity explosions of the COWBOY program. These were spheres of high explosive ranging from 20 to 2000 lbs detonated in spherical cavities of 12 and 30-ft diameters. Wall pressures as a function of time are given together with some discussion of the explosive properties influencing the wall pressures. Some comparisons with measured pressures are included and an appendix contains further details of the explosion history of one typical problem (20 lbs in 12 ft cavity). The calculated wall- pressure histories are being used as inputs in an elastic propagation calculation. (auth)
