It was found that the interaction leads to a blast focusing within the gap between two adjacent pipes, and that the focused overpressure may exceed a fully reflected overpressure. This paper examines the effects of a combination of the arrangement of pipes (diameter, gap distance) and incident blast wave characteristic parameters (positive phase duration) on the focusing phenomena and the resultant blast load distribution.Read More
