The initial findings show that the spherical topology provides advantages over the Cartesian mesh domains.

The simulation results are compared with the calculations of the more established CONventional WEaPons (CONWEP) approach based on the available experimental data. The effects of mesh resolution, mesh topology, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) parameters are discussed. The first part of this study presents a parametric approach for the quantification of the important factors such as the incident overpressure, the reflected overpressure, the incident impulse, and the reflected impulse for the blast simulations that employ the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. Therefore, a reliable blast simulation methodology is valuable to the vehicle design development process.
