The central theme of the conference was the development of an in-depth understanding of blast wave problems and their solutions via a new interdisciplinary effort which encompasses both gas-dynamic and chemical-kinetic approaches. The conference evoked vigorous discussions of the generation and decay of blast waves due to the release of energy from discrete chemical sources in gaseous, solid and liquid media. Of special interest was the relationship between the developing blast waves and chemical energy soruces having finite reaction rates.

Covering the dynamics of reactive systems and of explosions, the 15 papers discuss the treatment of turbulent mixing in reactive systems, acoustic interactions with combustion fields, liquid atomization, soot formation, practical applications of combustion in waste incineration and pulse jet ignition in internal combustion engines, detonations phenomena, and mixing effects in explosions. Includes six color plates. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

In this report the general phenomena connected with a blast wave in air will be discussed. The particular features of the blast wave produced by a nuclear explosion will be emphasized, but many of the developments in this volume will apply generally to blast waves produced by any type of explosion. In this introductory chapter we shall try to give a general idea of the various phenomena occurring in a blast wave in air, of their interrelation and their time sequence. In the following chapters the details of the theory will be given, including curves showing the pressure distribution as a function of time and position. We have not Included any detailed discussion of the effects of an atomic bomb other than the blast effect. Cnly a short discussion of other effects is given in Chapter 3. For further discussion, especially on flash burn and radioactivity, reports on the experience in Japan should be consulted.
