A nuclear weapon is a device designed to release energy in an explosive manner as a result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or a combination of the two. Fission weapons are commonly referred to as atomic bombs, and fusion weapons are referred to as th
Simulate a nuclear explosion in any city on the planet. See the effects and casualties of the atomic bomb explosion.
Nuclear weapons are usually detonated above the ground (not upon impact, because some of the energy would be dissipated by the ground motions), to maximize the effect of their spherically expanding fireball and blast wave . 核武器通常在空中爆炸(而非撞击地面,因在地面爆炸多数能量将被地面吸收)以...
The strongest man-made physical explosion is surely the nuclear explosion of an atomic bomb. The strongest explosion resulted in blast wave overpressures of 170 kPa in the central zone (14-km radius for the example of a 20 Mt explosion in 5.5-km height) and gradually decaying to the out...
Simulation is performed to calculation blast wave propagation and mushroom cloud formation by a nuclear bomb explosion. The explosion conditions are the same as the bomb dropped in Hiroshima: Nuclear yield of 16 kTon of TNT and detonation altitude of 580 m above the ground. Explosion is modeled...
detonation in (or above) a built-up area would still cause a sizable degree of building destruction, throughblastand heat effects out to amoderateradius, albeit considerably less destruction, than when compared to a standard nuclear bomb of the exact same total energy release or ""yield""." ...
A nuclear fusion power plant having a spherical blast-chamber filled with a liquid coolant that breeds tritium, absorbs neutrons, and functions as both an acoustical and laser mediu
