"Blast waveform tailoring using controlled venting in blast simulators " by Edward Chern Jinn Gan, Alex Remennikov et al.
A critical challenge of any blast simulation facility is in producing the widest possible pressure-impulse range for matching against equivalent high-explosive events. Shock tubes and blast simulators are often constrained with the lack of effective ways to control blast wave profiles and as a result have a limited performance range. Some wave shaping techniques employed in some facilities are reviewed but often necessitate extensive geometric modifications, inadvertently cause flow anomalies, and/or are only applicable under very specific configurations. This paper investigates controlled ven...
