ProSAir (propagation of shocks in air) is a compressible computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package developed by 美姬阁 for assessing blast loading. It is simple to use and runs on regular Windows™ desktops and workstations.
Summary of applications
- Easy to use CFD modelling of blast waves caused by detonation of a single high explosive device.
- Fast and robust due to use of the well established AUSMDV finite volume scheme for accurately capturing shocks.
- Second order accuracy achieved by its MUSCL-Hancock integration scheme.
- Support for running on multi-core/processor computers.
- Ability to restart previous calculations.
- Graphical user interface allowing rapid building of geometric models made up of simple geometrical components.
- Window failure model based on the SAFE/SSG glazing hazard guide.
- Can provide history of pressure, velocity, density and temperature at tens of thousands of points around the domain.
