Airblast Propagation through Tunnels and the Effects of Wall Roughness
This report reviews the possiblity of large airblast attenuation in the case of rough-walled tunnel systems in underground ammunition storage sites. A comparison is made between the peak pressure attenuation observed in three tests with tunnel diameters ranging from 2,7 - 6 m. These results are shown to be consistent with a semi-empirical theory for steady turbulent flow in rough tunnels. The use of tunnels with large wall roughness is shown to reduce considerably the hazardous area around an underground ammunition storage site compared to sites with smooth-walled tunnels.
