Inside a rising mushroom cloud: denser air rapidly forces itself into the bottom center of the toroidal fireball, which turbulently mixes into the familiar cloud appearance. Mushroom clouds are formed by many sorts of large explosions under Earth's gravity, but they are best known for their appearance after nuclear detonations. Without gravity ...
The cumulonimbus flammagenitus cloud (CbFg), also known as the pyrocumulonimbus cloud, is a type of cumulonimbus cloud that forms above a source of heat, such as a wildfire, nuclear explosion, or volcanic eruption, [5] and may sometimes even extinguish the fire that formed it. [6] It is the most extreme manifestation of a flammagenitus cloud.
Formation of a mushroom cloud. Depicts the drawing up of cool air into the hot cloud via the stem, and inside the cloud is a toroidal circulation of hot gases with an updraft through the center of the toroid. Outside of the center of the cloud, the gas has هتا. substantially and looks like a regular cloud.
Nancy Baker Cahill's augmented reality public art work, which launches on Monday of Frieze Week, depicts a mushroom cloud — 'the ultimate symbol of human-caused cataclysm.'
Aerial footage from the recycling plant in Oxford which was struck by lightning last night (2 October), shows the damage sustained following the incident. The explosion could be heard up to 20 ...
A transient condensation cloud, also called a Wilson cloud, is observable surrounding large explosions in humid air. 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.
English: For decades this image was commonly misidentified as the mushroom cloud of the Little Boy bomb that formed around 8:15 AM local time. However due to its greater height and the wholly different time of day, it is a pyrocumulus* cloud that occurs frequently over firestorms.
The mushroom cloud over Hiroshima after the dropping of "Little Boy", photographed by Bob Caron. Technical Sergeant George Robert Caron (October 31, 1919 – June 3, 1995) was the tail gunner, the only defender of the twelve crewmen, aboard the B-29 Enola Gay during the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
