Abstract

In order to improve the computation precision of peak overpressure of the blast wave,three point explosion cases are simulated numerically with different fine grids by using the second-order Roe scheme.Based on the numerical computational scheme of the high-precision,the blast propagation speed is calculated according to the development law of a blast wave.The indirect peak overpressure is calculated by using Rankine-Hugoniot equation and compared with the direct peak overpressure calculated by numerical simulation.The comparative result indicates that: with the increase of the mesh refinement,the direct numerical peak overpressure gradually approaches the indirect peak overpressure obtained by a blast propagation speed,while the latter is almost constant.
