Abstract
This is a research project in cooperation with FOI (Swedish Defense Institute) on calculations of shock wave propagation in complex (enclosed) environments. The aim is to increase the accuracy to predict injury risk and severity for individuals inside buildings affected by blasts (explosions) from outside the building by using OpenFoam with an added package claled blastFoam.
