Simulating the effects of a high explosive pressure wave on the Leopard 1's fighting compartment. The model investigates how the blast wave propagates through the tank and determines how lethal it is by measuring the overpressure inside the vehicle.
The HE projectile has over 3kg of TNT and can penetrate around 40mm of steel; in this simulation the projectile detonates above the hull and turret roofs, where the armour is thinnest. The shrapnel from the HE round is ignored for simplicity, and to purely focus on the pressure effects.
