Despite the lack of experimental validation data associated with large-scale urban explosions, existing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers are often used to understand how blast waves propagate in complex environments. Replicating large-scale events is often challenging and costly, and so leveraging blast scaling laws to gather empirical data from gram-scale charges provides a useful alternative for interrogating numerical solvers and developing fast running tools. Throughout this presentation, key findings from this stream of research are discussed following a summary of existing capabilities at the University of Sheffield’s Blast & Impact Laboratory.
