What areas of maths and physics do I need to understand explosion physics?

Ok, is ##t_0## or ##t_d## the column I should be looking at for this?

So plot overpressure against mach number?

Isn't that what I did when I got the result I'm currently testing? I took the result for ##\frac{dz}{dt}## and changed it to an...

Do you mean compare overpressure to the mach number of the shockwave?

Interesting. For smaller distances my model aligns with the data fairly well (although the trend seems to be slightly less than cubic)...

Do mach reflections affect the overpressure that much? Even when the explosion is on the ground? I reasoned that the effects would only...

What Nukemap does is that it takes Glasstone and Dolan's data on nuclear weapons and interpolates between them to allow Nukemap to...

Yeah, I've done the same for distance and the equation also disagrees: The overpressure seems to be decreasing similarly to the inverse...

This one by Alex Wellerstein. The dimensional analysis makes sense but plotting yield and overpressure on a graph shows that it isn't...

I did it with overpressure and I'm getting some odd results: dR/dt transforms with the chain rule like this: $$\frac{dR}{dt} =...
