From this distance (600 m) and the damage (severe damage to roof) I can tell that the building experienced a blast wave with a peak overpressure of 2 to 3 psi. This means that: Maximum blast wind speed= 102mph (approx) Effect on Structures= Moderate effect on houses (windows and doors blown in and severe damage to roofs) Some weaker buildings may have collapsed Effect on people= Serious injuries caused from flying debris, eardrums ruptured, fatalities could occur

@noubarm.4538 2 жыл бұрын

Wind Speed: I would disagree on 102mph max wind speed, the 20m2 PV structure you see damaged in the video is massive, held in place with 32pcs of M24 anchors which failed (risen up by 2cm each from the floor, approx. 30kN rating each). I would estimate wind speed in excess of 500mph, you can calculate wind load on a 20sqm 30 degree structure.... Structure: Some brick walls collapsed, you can see a house disappear in the video background, windows and doors were totally destroyed, all furniture and appliances inside were destroyed by flying glass and debris, elevator metal doors were blown out and destroyed. All cars in the area were destroyed, metal surfaces vacuumed in by the pressure wave, engine seals blown out, brake servo blown.... People: Unfortunately lots of fatalities, even people with mild injuries died due to total destruction of nearby hospitals... No report of ruptured eardrums i was aware of around where i was standing (500-600m)

Firstly, my apologies for being so analytical about this tragic incident, and my sympathies to the folk of Beirut who died, were injured or suffered loss as a result of this awful incident. But it does provide the opportunity for some very interesting analysis, and I have reviewed this video frame by frame to get some timing for the various phases of the blastwave. The shock font arrives (when the chimney in the centre fails), just 42 frames after the flash. That's 1.4 seconds (at a frame rate of 30 fps). If the shock front was travelling at Mach 1 (340 m/sec), that puts the camera 476m from the initial position of the shock front. You state the camera was exactly 650m from the blast site, so, maybe the shock front was created at around 170 metres from the site. The flash of the detonation was captured in a single frame, so was probably less than 33 ms, so as Ammonium Nitrate has a detonation velocity of 3 to 5 km/sec, the detonation radius would be somewhere between 70 and 300 metres. I wonder if this 170 metres is an approximation to the actual radius of the detonation?

@noubarm.4538 6 ай бұрын

Indeed it was a tragic incident, thank you for your comment. I'm not an expert but below are some facts that could help: The camera was exactly 675m away from the explosion site. The warehouse that exploded is around 40mx100m (approx 2750kg of AN/ANFO) and there was a reinforced concrete grain silo just behind that warehouse that still partially stands in place. I think the blast wave was traveling at less than Mach 1 (from reports i have read about this explosion). One more thing to consider is the reflected wave from the grain silo that reached this area which might also alter your measurements.

@RationalDiscourse 6 ай бұрын

@@noubarm.4538 Thanks for that. I am pretty certain that the front of the blast wave travels at Mach 1. After all, by definition, Mach 1 is the speed that any disturbance of pressure or density travels through the medium. In this case, the medium is the atmosphere at the time - normal pressure around 1013 hPa and temp around 300°K. I am doing some analysis of the images, which have spherical distortion from your wide-angle lens. Do you have the focal length of the lens please?

@noubarm.4538 6 ай бұрын

@@RationalDiscourse Below are the details of this camera: Hikvision DS-2CV1021G0-IDW1 2.8mm lens. Isn't the speed of the disturbance also related to the amount (or speed) of the energy released by the explosives and limited to Mach 1 by our atmospheric conditions? According to an article I've read earlier there are two types of explosives, HE and LE (high/low order explosives) which create different blast waves, LE creating a subsonic wave. One more thing that might help you, as i was watching seconds before the big blast, from my angle of view, i could see, hear and feel a huge roaring blase seconds before the big explosion. I think it looked like it was a deflagration-to-detonation transition. I might be wrong here just trying to share my ideas... There are multiple other videos on YT showing this same explosion that might also help, one is linked in my description.

@RationalDiscourse 6 ай бұрын

@@noubarm.4538 Lots to unpack there. Thanks for the info on the camera. Unlike a water wave which is a transverse wave whose speed is related to its amplitude, a blast wave is a longitudinal wave, like light, radio, and sound, whose propagation rate is independent of its amplitude and frequency. I'm pretty sure blast waves propagate at Mach 1. The actual speed of Mach 1 depends on atmospheric conditions: 340 m/sec at NTP but faster in hot air, and in less dense air. It depends on whether you're talking about the speed of detonation or the speed of the blast wave. I'm no explosives expert, but this is what I understand as a scientist: HE detonates at supersonic speeds, meaning the chemical reaction propagates through the material faster than the speed of sound. But only during the reaction, creating the fireball. Once the reaction is complete, the fireball stops expanding supersonically and the blastwave detaches and propagates at Mach 1. LE deflagrate, which means they burn or propagate their reaction at subsonic speeds. This results in a slower and less powerful reaction compared to high explosives. I am spending many hours viewing and analysing the many YT videos. It must have been the most recorded blast in history!

@noubarm.4538 6 ай бұрын

@@RationalDiscourse Thank you for taking your time to explain, my background is electronics so i'm also far from being an expert here. What i'm comparing with other waves is not the blast wave itself which is longitudinal, but the amplitude of pressure vs space/time which should be a sinewave and would explain the rise and fall of the pressure before returning to normal NTP conditions. My understanding was that the speed of detonation is what would be driving the blast wave, if detonation is subsonic the blast wave would be traveling at subsonic speed, i guess i was wrong. It was indeed the most recorded blast in history. One more thing to mention, it was recorded as a M3.3 quake, you can also see that ground traveling wave at 00:24 just after the flash. It felt much more than M3.3 from where i was standing though, i remember wondering how the concrete was still holding up before the blast wave reached me....

The blast wave is not "windy". The wind in the blast wave only lasts milliseconds as the high pressure wave passes through. That pressure can accelerate heavy objects which makes it look like it's windy. Immediately following the high pressure wave, there''s a smaller low pressure "negative phase" which makes some of these objects slow down and move towards the blast.

@@RationalDiscourse Yes I'm an engineer, but having lived through this explosion (i was downstairs a couple of meters closer when it happened) i can confirm what you are stating from the damage i saw. I was also surprised about the "negative phase" having seen some objects change direction midway i did some research at the time...

@RationalDiscourse 6 ай бұрын

@@noubarm.4538 The negative phase, which caused the very noticeable condensation cloud in that explosion is the subject of much discussion. Its existence is unchallenged, but the true cause of the low pressure is poorly explained in the literature.

@noubarm.4538 6 ай бұрын

@@RationalDiscourse Concerning the low pressure, i think it can be related to any other form of wave (water/sea wave, electrical spike or surge, mechanical vibration, etc...) where any wave with increased amplitude is usually followed by a decrease of amplitude, I'm sure it's over-simplified but that's how i imagine it. Concerning the condensation cloud, it's usually caused by the decrease of pressure, density, and temperature below the dew point or the increase of pressure causing relative humidity to saturate, kind of difficult to tell if it's caused by the high or low pressure in this case but i think you are right it's the low pressure as the high pressure would also increase the temperature causing RH to drop.
