The present paper summarizes a second series of tests investigating the validity of models designed to predict reflected blast waves characteristics. Overpressure maxima, arrival time of the shock wave and impulse have been measured and are presented in this paper as non-dimensional characteristics of the pressure-time history. The results obtained from the experiments are in good agreement in comparison with data from the open literature and may thus be considered as reference results for further numerical or analytical model developments.
The series of tests reported in this paper is in addition the final series of tests dedicated to validate the experimental set-up and the experimental procedures associated.
