Maximum Peak Overpressure of Remote Explosion (Kinney & Graham)

Based on various tests. Formula for calculating the peak overpressure. The maximum peak overpressure is specified as a function of the scaled distance Z.

{\hat{p}}_{10} = p_{0} \cdot \frac{808 \cdot [1 + (^{\frac{Z}{4.5}) 2})]}{\sqrt{1 + (^{\frac{Z}{0.048}) 2}} \cdot \sqrt{1 + (^{\frac{Z}{0.32}) 2}} \cdot \sqrt{1 + (^{\frac{Z}{1.35}) 2}}}

p₁₀	Maximum peak pressure of remote explosion (Kinney & Graham) [kPa]
p₀	Atmospheric pressure under normal conditions (101.3 [kPa])
Z	Scaled distance [m/kg1/3]
