Numerical simulation of the creation of a fire fighting barrier using an explosion of a combustible charge

“…People widely use methods of termination of a spread of combustion by creation of protective fire barriers for localization of natural fires. Physical-mechanical [2][3][4] or explosive [5][6][7] methods provide establishment of fire barriers at present. The physical-mechanical method is used for the creation of a stripe with a help of engineering techniques and manual means, and the explosive method -with a help of cord or pressure charges.…”

“…A use of mathematical apparatus and modern computer technology can reduce material costs for investigation of various complex processes. Therefore, there are developed mathematical models that investigate the impact of an explosion on vegetation [7,8]. Let us consider the possibility of application of known models to investigate an explosion of a combustion charge for the establishment of a fire barrier.…”

Study of an interaction of a blast wave with a destructible screen made of a granular material

“…The authors of [5] proposed using liquids for atten uation devices, for example, water with air bubbles which is enclosed in a rubber shell. The attenuation device is designed in the form of a basket with double walls and bottom.…”

Dependence of Blast Attenuation on Weight of Barrier Materials

“…Numerous experimental studies of attenuation have been published previously. The attenuation effects of vermiculite [1], sand [2][3][4], water [5], water columns [6], foam [7][8][9][10][11], snow [12], foam polystyrene and polyurethane [13], and other solid materials [14] were studied and published. The objective of these previous studies were mainly the attenuation of blast waves or the noise of the explosion.…”
