Summary

Description
English: Radius and temperature vs. time of the fireball of a 20 kiloton nuclear air burst
Deutsch: Feuerballtemperatur und -durchmesser einer 20-kT-Explosion über die Zeit aufgetragen
Source Self-generated fit of curves in Glasstone/Dolan, The Effects of Nuclear Weapons (1977)
Author SiriusB
  • Additional note: The new image has been improved in quality by plotting as Postscript and then converting it to PNG, instead of using the PNG terminal of Gnuplot. The fireball diameter fit now uses a modified formula. It differs a bit from the original plot in Glasstone/Dolan (1977), but better fits the data shown in the text of the same source. The diameter formula is

where t is the time after detonation in seconds, (radius at 10-4 seconds), (radius at 10-1 s) and (final radius). The fit is valid from 10-4 seconds to a few seconds.
