Urban blasts have become a significant concern in recent years. Whilst free-field blasts are well understood, the introduction of an urban setting (or any complex geometry) gives rise to multiple blast wave interactions and unique flow complexities, significantly increasing the difficulty of loading predictions. This review identifies commonly agreed-upon concepts or behaviours that are utilised to describe urban shock wave propagation, such as channelling and shielding, in conjunction with exploring urban characterisation metrics that aim to predict the effects on global blast loading for an urban blast. Likewise, discrepancies and contradictions are highlighted to promote key areas that require further work and clarification. Multiple numerical modelling programmes are acknowledged to showcase their ability to act as a means of validation and a preliminary testing tool. The findings contained within this review aim to inform future research decisions and topics better.

The introduction and pinnacle of colliding blast waves research commenced in the 1950's following World War II. Since then, sporadic studies have appeared throughout the literature up until the early 1990s beyond which a significant contributory gap on the topic ensued. With the interminable proactivity of modern civil and aerospace defense research in the past several decades, investigations on the phenomena of blast wave collisions have fallen behind in comparison. Recent events and applications of offensive and defensive operations have slowly begun to rekindle studies on colliding blast waves in the last few years. However, there remains limitations on the extent of analyses which have yet to be adequately addressed. This review attempts to critically compile and analyze all existing research on blast wave collisions to identify pertinent shortcomings of the present state-of-the-art. In addition, related investigations of colliding shock waves and the collision of shock waves and blast waves are also provided to further elaborate on their distinctions to colliding blast waves. Prior to such discussions, the fundamentals of blast wave behaviors in terms of their characteristics, formation, and propagation are presented to pave a background to subsequent advanced topics. Lastly, unique classifications of direct and indirect applications of blast wave collisions are presented with modern perspectives. As a result, a classical problem is reawakened towards understanding and addressing highly complex and dynamic shock wave systems in defense applications.
