Abstract

Abstract : During the month of December 1973, the Air Force Weapons Laboratory (AFWL) conducted a series of experiments as part of Project GEST (Gas Explosive Simulation Technique) to evaluate the flow characteristics of fireballs resulting from balloon explosions. The tests were conducted at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico and consisted of detonating tethered balloons filled with an explosive mixture of CH4 and O2. The principal objective in these tests is to study the characteristics of torus formation, including formation rate, size, rate of rise, temperature profiles, etc. (Modified author abstract)
