You could use it to describe an explosion of air, such as when something is blown up or an airbag deploys. For example, you could say: "The air explosion from the exploding balloon startled everyone in the room."
Numerical models are established to reproduce both the previous free air explosion tests and the current contact explosion tests.
In a previous study, the performance of UHPC slab under blast loads had been investigated through free air explosion tests.
In particular, finite element model is established to simulate the free air explosion test, and coupled smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method and finite element method is utilized to simulate the contact blast tests.
All experiments were open air explosions.
But Dr. Koeberl said something hitting an ice sheet would still generate a hole in the ground underneath, and he questioned whether smaller impacts or air explosions would produce the shock waves needed to make diamonds.
The research leading to this article is motivated by the fact that only limited knowledge about finite element simulations and experimental validation of structures under free air explosions seems to be available.
Sirens roared the alarm, and a mid-air explosion was seen overhead as the Patriot intercepted a missile.
While stressing it was too early to form a clear picture, he ruled out a mid-air explosion and said the crash scenario did not appear to be linked to depressurisation.
A mid-air explosion followed by a shower of debris led many to fear the worst yesterday for a Qantas Airbus A380 that had just taken off from Singapore.
It was the first official indication that the Ukraine was examining whether troops carrying out exercises with long-range surface-to-air missiles on the Crimean peninsula might have caused the mid-air explosion that downed Sibir Airlines flight 1812.
The mid-air explosion, which killed everyone on board and was the heaviest single loss of life for British forces since the Falklands war, happened minutes after the reconnaissance aircraft refuelled near Kandahar, Afghanistan.
