OSTI ID:5823597
Development requirements relating to a reusable, one-kiloton level nuclear airblast simulator using fuel-air explosives is being investigated. The simulator concept is that of a large liquid fuel dispenser, comprising a cluster of radially-directed nozzles. An appropriate fuel would be impulsively injected through this nozzle cluster and the hemispherically-shaped fuel-air cloud so formed would then be detonated. During the contract period reported, work progressed in three areas. These are: the design of an experimental, full-scale single-nozzle dispenser; an initial investigation of the sources of secondary compression waves in fuel-air explosions; and improvements in data acquisition procedures.
