A PETN （pentaerythritol tetranitrate） pellet of 1.4 g near the model wall was detonated on a steel plate. A water-filled container was placed between the explosive and the wall. The pressure histories at six points, which corresponded to Hopkinson scaled distance of from 3.6 m·kg^-1/3 to 21.7 m·kg^-1/3 were evaluated along with dependence of mitigation effects on the amount of water and the position of the container. The presence of the water and the wall mitigated the peak overpressure near the explosion points and the positive impulse along all points. The mitigation effect was equivalent to 20-30% reduction of explosive weight based on discussion of the equivalent ratio. The presence of the water along the wall （not very close to the explosive） also mitigated the blast pressure.展开更多
