The impingement of muzzle blast wave is an important engineering problem and has been widely discussed for decades. The problem becomes more complex when the cannon shots at a high frequency. An accumulation phenomenon of the impingement of multiple blast waves is observed. In this research, the numerical study on impinging flows, which are generated by the propellant gas released from the muzzle of a high‐frequency launch system, is achieved. The interior ballistics model is employed in the simulation of muzzle flow. In order to have insight into the effect of continuous impingement, three cases with different launch frequencies are studied and compared. Under the computational load of muzzle flow impingement, the dynamic response of monitoring equipment is discussed based on an elastic mechanics model, and the contribution of the impinging frequency to the damaging effect is analyzed. It can be concluded that the frequency of the muzzle flow impingement has an important influence on the damaging effect. Furthermore, the accumulation of impingement depends on the shooting frequency and the intensity of each impingement.

“…Despite musculoskeletal trauma being the most common injury in military conflict and civilian terrorist activity, the study of blast pathophysiology has rarely focused on the musculoskeletal system and has concentrated on primary blast injuries of the pulmonary or central nervous systems (Bowen et al, 1968;Cooper et al, 1991;Hayda et al, 2004;Zuckerman, 1952), resulting in the development of improved protective measures and medical interventions. As a consequence, there exists a paucity of scientific investigation into the blast pathophysiology of the musculoskeletal system, fundamentally distinct from that described in blunt trauma research (Champion et al, 2009;Ramasamy et al, 2011).…”

Explosions remain the leading cause of death and injury to combatants in conflict. The current 'Global War on Terror' has resulted in a shift of explosive-related injuries from the battlefield into civilian centres. Despite musculoskeletal injuries being the most common injury witnessed in blast, there remains little research into the effects of blast on this system. In order to develop new treatment regimens and mitigation systems, there is a requirement to have a better understanding of skeletal trauma in this unique environment. The aim of this review article is to deconstruct the complex injury mechanisms witnessed in blast and relate them to its effects on the musculoskeletal system.

“…Previous authors have described the destructive pathology unique to blast injuries, noting the secondary injury effect caused by highly charged projectiles which can produce significant penetrating injuries to bone and soft tissue. 2,8,9,12,25 Soft tissue coverage of highly contaminated open fractures of the foot and ankle remains a frequent and difficult challenge. The limited availability of skin in this region, along with the decreased mobility and relatively poor circulation of that skin, make coverage of these defects complicated.…”

Reverse Sural Artery Flap for Reconstruction of Blast Injuries of the Foot and Ankle

In appropriately selected patients with significant open bony and soft tissue trauma to the foot and ankle, the reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flap should be considered as a viable first option for soft tissue coverage, even in cases of subacute coverage. Early coverage is preferable in cases of severe contamination and soft tissue destruction, but late coverage of distal lower extremity defects with a sural artery flap is possible with good outcomes.
