Abstract
In blast resistant design, simulation data may be used to generate the explosive loads that would be witnessed by the detonation of a high explosive device. There are many software packages available to simulate explosions, and this study aims to provide a comparison of a selection of them, including some recently available, with the aim of forming an understanding of the potential accuracies and speed of these in far-field explosive prediction. Software selection criteria were formed by a literature survey to highlight the commonly commercially used programmes. Each software package was used to predict the far-field effects of overpressure and specific impulse from two explosive charges against a reflective target. The data generated by these simulations were then critically compared and reviewed, both with respect to each other and, for the 100 kg charge size, with respect to experimental data. It shows that for the simulated scenarios, after domain and cell size fidelity studies have been performed, the choice of software may lead to a variance in prediction in the peak overpressure of up to 50%, specific impulse of up to 15%, and simulation run times by a factor of 600.
