Validation and Expansion of DISPRE2 Quantity-Distance Model

The DISPRE2 model has been developed by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to predict the hazardous debris density and air blast at any given distance following an accidental detonation in an arch-shaped or rectangular above-ground ammunition magazine storing up to 5,000-kg of TNT equivalent explos...

Description
Summary:The DISPRE2 model has been developed by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to predict the hazardous debris density and air blast at any given distance following an accidental detonation in an arch-shaped or rectangular above-ground ammunition magazine storing up to 5,000-kg of TNT equivalent explosives material. DISPRE2 is a self-contained software package, including pre- and post processors designed to run in a Windows environment on a personal computer. Version 1.0 of DISPRE2 was completed in October 1994 for the Klotz Club, an informal working group composed of delegates from eight countries with common concerns in safe explosives storage. This version of the software was introduced at the 1994 DoD Explosives Safety Seminar. See also ADM000767. Presented at the DoD Explosives Safety Seminar (27th) held in Las Vegas, NV on 20-22 August 1996, and published in the proceedings of the same.
