Скачать или смотреть The Terrifying Physics of a Tunnel Explosion

The series of shockwaves ripping through the tunnel from the explosion occurs due to the sudden and violent release of energy. When an explosion happens in a confined space like a tunnel, high-pressure gases expand rapidly, creating shockwaves that travel at supersonic speeds. These shockwaves reflect off the tunnel walls, reinforcing each other and increasing the overall destructive force. This interaction can cause structural damage far beyond the initial blast site. Studying how shockwaves behave in tunnels helps engineers design safer underground systems, improve emergency response strategies, and better understand blast dynamics in enclosed environments..
