  2. Steam explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_explosion

    Littoral explosion at Waikupanaha ocean entry at the big island of Hawaii was caused by the lava entering the ocean. A steam explosion is an explosion caused by violent boiling or flashing of water or ice into steam, occurring when water or ice is either superheated, rapidly heated by fine hot debris produced within it, or heated by the interaction of molten metals (as in a fuel–coolant ...

  3. Underwater explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_explosion

    About one second after such an explosion, the hot gas bubble collapses because: The water pressure is enormous below 2,000 feet (610 m). The expansion reduces gas pressure, which decreases temperature. Rayleigh–Taylor instability at the gas/water boundary causes "fingers" of water to extend into the bubble, increasing the boundary surface area.

  4. Dry ice bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice_bomb

    Dry ice bombs can explode within seconds due to the rapid sublimation of dry ice, injuring the handler. The abrupt release of high-pressure gas creates a loud noise, which can cause hearing damage even at substantial distances. Fragments thrown at high speeds can cut or puncture.

    Explosion of unserviceable ammunition and other military items The explosion of the Castle Bravo nuclear bomb. An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Explosions may also be ...

  6. Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_liquid_expanding...

    At that moment, the water would boil and turn to vapor explosively, and the 350 °C (662 °F) liquid water turned to gas would take up significantly more volume (≈ 1,600-fold) than it did as liquid, causing a vapor explosion. Such explosions can happen when the superheated water of a boiler escapes through a crack in a boiler, causing a ...

  7. Thermobaric weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

    A thermobaric weapon, also called an aerosol bomb, or a vacuum bomb, [1] is a type of explosive munition that works by dispersing an aerosol cloud of gas, liquid or powdered explosive. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The fuel is usually a single compound, rather than a mixture of multiple substances. [ 4 ]

  8. Effects of nuclear explosions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions

    The high temperatures and radiation cause gas to move outward radially in a thin, dense shell called "the hydrodynamic front". The front acts like a piston that pushes against and compresses the surrounding medium to make a spherically expanding shock wave. At first, this shock wave is inside the surface of the developing fireball, which is ...

  9. Condensation cloud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_cloud

    When a nuclear weapon or high explosive is detonated in sufficiently humid air, the "negative phase" of the shock wave causes a rarefaction of the air surrounding the explosion but not of the air contained within it. The rarefied air is temporarily cooled, which causes condensation of some of the water vapor within the rarefied air. When the ...
